18 Women Achievers Share Their Inspiring Journeys.
This year, Entrepreneur’s list of women achievers features those personalities who have carved a niche for themselves in their respective fields. A proper epithet to describe these women is difficult to find — perhaps,calling them changemakers would be judicious. If there’s something that is common among them, it’s the winning spirit. From a politician, spacepreneur, sports personality, actor to a chef, innovator, educator, we have chosen to acknowledge those who have brought about a positive change in the world — they pushed the limits to be where they are today. And they are making their presence felt in areas, which are largely male-dominated. On cover, we have Priyanka Gandhi — the Congress Party’s ace entrant in active politics — who is capable of bringing a shift in the winds of Indian politics in the years to come. This time, the list features a flight lieutenant who has shattered gender stereotypes. Plus, an incredible shuttler who has brought accolades to the nation in multitudes and more.
