Bengaluru, March 29: The Bagggel Foundation proudly unveils the second edition of its annual flagship conference, Being CEO Ready, set for April 5, 2025, at Hotel Royal Orchid, Bengaluru. This one-day event aims to bridge the leadership gender gap, where currently only 1 in 3 senior leaders are women, and just 19% hold CEO positions.
Following the resounding success of last year’s conference—garnering a 96% attendee satisfaction rate—this year’s edition will bring together over 100 C-suite executives and senior leaders for impactful discussions, networking, and leadership development opportunities tailored for women.
The conference will focus on five core leadership tracks:
✅ New Age Leadership—Navigating uncertainty with confidence
✅ AI-Powered Businesses—Strategic and ethical insights into AI integration
✅ Growth Strategies—Scaling businesses, from startups to M&As
✅ The CEO Mindset—Balancing work-life integration and resilience
✅ Paying It Forward—Fostering mentorship and alliances among women leaders
“Being CEO Ready isn’t about ‘if’—it’s about ‘when,'” says Supria Dhanda, Founder of Bagggel. “We’re not just preparing women for CEO roles—we’re transforming corporate leadership by equipping them with insights, tools, and networks that accelerate their journey.”
Targeting senior executives, fast-track leaders, founders, and HR professionals aspiring for top leadership roles, the event will feature insights from industry leaders, future-focused discussions, and high-performance leadership strategies.
Last year’s conference saw influential speakers like Prof. Vasanthi Srinivasan (IIM Bangalore), Pankajam Sridevi (MD, Commonwealth Bank of Australia India), and Dr. Rohini Srivathsa (CTO, Microsoft India & South Asia). This year’s lineup promises to be equally compelling, featuring industry stalwarts such as Dr. Vishal Rao (Dean, HealthCare Global), DGP P S Sandhu (IPS, Retd.), Sarika Naik (Group Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, Capgemini), Anshuma Dogra Singh (India IT Head, Applied Materials), Richard Rekhy (ex-CEO, KPMG India), and many more.
