Rebalancing Equity - Tina Ahluwalia
How do we normalize the presence of women at the helm of successful ventures? The answer does not lie only in policy change, but in a broader cultural change.
In this episode of L for Leadership, Tina Ahluwalia, Director - Operations at WinPE, explores the reality and challenges women face, when navigating entrepreneurship and investing in India.
Tina draws our attention to gender equity in private equity and venture capital industries where women have historically been underrepresented. With women-led startups receiving less than 10% of VC funding, Tina emphasizes the need for gender diversity, to ensure better governance, innovation and long-term returns.
Tina breaks down why women founders are still scrutinized more, what investors really respond to, and how mentorship, money, and mindset can change the pipeline, not just the headlines. She touches on the importance of creating a community where women open up about their fears, and learn the unspoken rules of pitching and power. She also emphasizes the need for financial literacy, whether it’s a woman from a rural town, or a metropolitan city.
A thoughtful conversation on transforming India’s start-up landscape, Tina Ahluwalia shares what future women leaders need: inclusivity, courage and collaboration.
