Awards

Shining a Spotlight on Women Who Make a Difference

At FICCI FLO, we believe in the power of recognition. The FLO Awards honour extraordinary women who have shattered barriers, redefined success, and paved the way for others.

Since its inception, FLO has been dedicated to empowering women – entrepreneurs, professionals, and changemakers – helping them unlock their full potential. But empowerment isn’t just about opportunities; it’s also about celebrating those who dare to dream big and achieve bigger.

Each year, we spotlight trailblazers and visionaries whose achievements inspire countless others to rise, lead, and make an impact. Because when one woman wins, we all win.

Note from a Woman Achiever

“I am touched that you have focused on his forgotten frontier to recognise those of us who strive to give a new meaning to life beyond the headlines and in the periphery. Indeed we so often get blanked out that we tend to forget we are part of his great nation. I thank you FLO for transcending the safe and the comfortable domain of the mainstream to include those who are not part of this mainstream media but who work with greater zeal as journalist-activists because that is what it takes to fight for equality and justice.”
