You will be meeting 8 shipping business women who attended the Women's International Shipping and Trading Association, WISTA International AGM & Conference in Istanbul, Turkey October, 7-10, 2015.

Sanjam Gupta, Director Sitara Shipping Ltd, India is the President of WISTA India and also a member of the WISTA International Executive Committee, EXCO. She is the founder of WISTA India and in this episode she tells the true story of how she got upset to be the only woman attending gatherings within the maritime cluster in India, making her google for Women in Shipping and through the website find WISTA International. 

Sanjam thinks that the industry needs to come together and promote shipping to younger people enabling them to enter and contribute to the developments.
