WOMEN ICON OF THE YEAR

Being the company director for the last 11 years, I am involved in projects from inception to completion Apart from concentrating on real estate projects, I devote my time to the Gaurs Group CSR wing and Gaurs Foundation When I joined 11 years back, the delivery of Gaurs Group was around 5 000 units, which has now crossed 50 000. In addition, the Gaur City Mall in Greater Noida West spread over 8 61 000 sq ft of retail area and provides an unparalleled retail and leisure attractions mix to fulfil the shopping and entertainment needs. I am also the first woman to be appointed as the Convener of the Delhi NCR Chapter of CREDAI Women's Wing. In 2011 we had a 15 women workforce, and now it is more than 36 in various roles. We regularly organize training sessions related to skill development and self-defense for women. At Gaurs Group, we are very particular about the social responsibilities of change makers, especially when the world is pondering on coming closer to nature and preserve the pristine environment. The focus is also on mitigating the environmental impact of construction activities and empower women and girl child. As a responsible citizen of the country, I have paid special attention to environmental causes in the NCR region. Some notable work includes support for Swachch Bharat Abhiyan on all the Gaurs project sites, construction of toilets at all project sites, tree plantation drive at construction project sites. I started Gaurs International School, which has transformed into one of the best schools in Greater Noida and now has three branches. It also gave the group an impetus that we can excel in businesses other than real estate. I was always concerned about girl education and under my guidance, Gaurs International School has started evening classes for girls of underprivileged families till Class 12th and they get the same facilities as any other student of world class infrastructure, and qualified teachers.
