Inspiring Leaders - October 2024

It’s an absolute pleasure to welcome you to the first issue of Inspiring Leaders Magazine. The vision of Times Applaud Group is ultimately to create the most stylish, greatest, innovative, authentic, and inspiring people’s magazine/media on the planet.

I know the job is challenging, and it is not a small feat, but then with my brilliant and hardworking team, we will stand out and take our readers beyond the pages of a print magazine. We will try to voice all true stories and writeups that will mean something to each of you.

It is important to state that, as a publication, we don’t advocate any political ideology and are fully transparent in our operations. We have set rules and standards for scrutinising all our featured pieces. When we were planning to launch our first issue, we felt that it would be a great idea to start with the blessing of ‘Shakti’- The Primordial Cosmic Energy. Additionally, International Women’s Day has just gone by, so in our first publication, we have tried to pay tribute to the most powerful creation of God- The Women. The overall theme of our debut stories is focused on powerful women -- women in the corporate world, politics, women doing

something unconventional by day - that focus on the way they manage their children, kitchens, husbands, hair, clothing and all the stuff in the traditional “ladies’ domain.” Plus, in a nod to the modern, totally empowered woman who break the bias, there’s coverage of winners from our annual affair Woman Iconza Awards 2023 event (fourth edition). To some, these stories and the exercise of power will be inspiring, relatable, or motivating, like Sohini Shastri, who adorns the cover page of our issue.

In our subsequent issues, you will find stories and articles on various global trends, current affairs, education, startups, big corporates, fashion, art, philanthropists, online giants, and much, much more. We hope you will enjoy all our offerings this month. So sit back and get the best insights. It’s all about the most powerful creation of God -Women Collection of their serious and non-serious, their personal and their ethical concerns.
