She has been appointed chairperson of A’bad chapter of FICCI’s ladies wing.
Entrepreneur and author Sonal Ambani will be the chairperson of FICCI's ladies organisation's (FLO) Ahmedabad chapter to be inaugurated in Gujarat next week.
Ahmedabad is FLO's eighth stop in the country and the first in Gujarat. Other team members will include Vice-chairperson Pooja Agarwal, treasurer Shubha Bhandari and secretary Rachita Parekh.
The primary objective of FLO is to promote entrepreneurship and professional excellence in women. "The main aim of FLO is to spread awareness among women and build a positive vision for India. Women should get professional recognition for the work they do. We are also looking at networking and international tie ups," Ambani told DNA.
Chief minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the set up here on Monday. The high profile event will be attended by actor Raveena Tandon among others.
FLO was established in 1983, as a division of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). FLO endeavours to enhance the various skills of women through its educational and vocational training programmes, talks, seminars, panel discussion and workshop on a wide range of subjects like information technology, taxation, insurance, venture capital, stock market operations, accountancy, marketing, mutual funds, investment planning and entrepreneurship development programmes.
FLO also focuses on women-related legal and social issues like uniform civil code, domestic violence among others. FLO also has a business consultancy cell for potential women entrepreneurs to provide consultancy services and extend help in setting up their units. It also helps in providing appropriate guidance for running the units.
As an All India Organisation for women, FLO has chapters in Mumbai, Chennai, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Guwahati and Kolkata with its head office in Delhi. The members comprise entrepreneurs, professionals and corporate executives. Ambani is also involved in social causes through the Cancer Screening & Research Trust and booksandballs.org through which under privileged children are aided with sports equipment.
