As 8th March marks International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women driving innovation in the mobility industry. Here’s an inspiring quote from trailblazing women shaping the future of technology, leadership, and progress.
Mrs. Kirti Kabra, Director, RR Global
“On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of women in business and manufacturing—industries traditionally dominated by men. This year’s UN theme, ‘Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,’ underscores a vital truth: empowering women propels industries, economies, and communities forward. At RR Global, we recognize that true progress occurs when women have equal opportunities to learn, grow, and lead. This is also aligned with the Government’s vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047, which aims for 70% female participation in economic activities. We are committed to fostering education, skill development, and leadership among women. Our initiatives strive to break barriers and cultivate an inclusive environment where women thrive as innovators and decision-makers. The Union Budget 2025-26 marks the 20th anniversary of gender budgeting in India, allocating a record ₹4.5 lakh crore—nearly 9% of total expenditure—to support women’s economic empowerment. Today, we see women in manufacturing and business leadership who are redefining norms, and demonstrating that excellence transcends gender. To sustain this momentum, continued investment in women’s education and career development is essential, ensuring they possess the tools to excel. A diverse, inclusive workplace not only promotes fairness but also accelerates economic and industrial growth. On International Women’s Day, I urge businesses to move beyond celebration and take meaningful action toward gender inclusivity. By investing in women, we pave the way for a more progressive, equitable, and prosperous future for all.”
Ms. Kavitha Ramachandragowda, Co-founder & Executive Director, Routematic
“According to the World Economic Forum, at our current pace, full gender equality may not be achieved until 2158. Women’s Day 2025 serves as a crucial reminder that we must accelerate progress. Encouragingly, more women today are breaking barriers in entrepreneurship, leadership, STEM, and mobility—proving that opportunities should be based on talent, not gender. However, systemic challenges persist, and meaningful change requires more than just policies or statements—it calls for consistent, everyday actions. Intentional hiring, fair promotions, and creating workplaces where women can thrive are vital steps forward. At Routematic, we are dedicated to building an inclusive workforce, enhancing mobility safety, and leveraging technology to create equal opportunities. While India has made significant progress, the journey is far from over. Gender equality should not be an exception or a distant goal, it must become the norm.”
