They include ANANDI, AALI, Breakthrough India, CORO, Jan Sahas, Kolkata Sanjog, KMVS, IBTADA, Milaan, IT For Change, Majlis, Nishtha, Shaheen, Vacha, Mann Deshi Foundation.

Speaking at the launch, Vidya Shah, CEO, EdelGive Foundation said, “A first of its kind idea, the Influencers are a group of influential people who care deeply about the issues of women and girls, and want to exercise their influence to bring change.  EdelGive created the Influencers as a platform to inform, amplify and galvanise action! This platform presents a great opportunity for us to come together and build a powerful grassroots connect to the real world, one that will assist in bringing about a shift in power; increasing decision-making capacities, inspiring women for active societal participation.”

Satyajit, spoke on the power of communication followed by action to shape mindsets while leaders of NGOs like Ashif Shaikh of Jan Sahas that has launched a nationwide Dignity March to end sexual violence against women and children, and Sujata Khandekar of CORO for Literacy working on single women’s leadership in communities in rural Maharashtra; shared their motivation, agenda and tools of influencing at the event.
