The Alliance for Global Good – Gender Equity & Equality hosted the Women & Growth Summit 2026: The Next Leap as part of the 31st CII Partnership Summit, held in Visakhapatnam on 12 November. The inaugural session was graced by Sh. N. Chandrababu Naidu, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, and Smt. Smriti Irani, Founder & Chairperson, Alliance for Global Good – Gender Equity & Equality, along with Sh. Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII, and Dr. Suchitra K. Ella, President-Designate, CII. The Summit was organised in partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh. Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu proposed the establishment of a Women’s Technology Park, offering land at no cost and additional subsidies to participating women tech-entrepreneurs. He also proposed taking a delegation of women entrepreneurs from Andhra Pradesh to Davos in 2027, in collaboration with the Alliance's WeLead Lounge. Calling for women's participation to become central to India's economic development, Smt. Smriti Irani challenged conventional thinking, asking: "Why is women's participation treated as an additional objective when women constitute nearly half of the human capital of the country?" She emphasised that women's participation must become "core to the economic architecture of the country's development agenda." She also called for a shift from supporting women as workers and micro-entrepreneurs to enabling them to become enterprise owners, build larger businesses and lead India's economic growth. The Summit brought together industry leaders, international investors, policymakers and women entrepreneurs from Self-Help Groups across Andhra Pradesh. Members from CII's Indian Women Network (IWN), South Region represented women leaders from industry across the Summit's sessions, bringing perspectives and experiences from diverse sectors and businesses to the discussions. Discussions across the day focused on three themes: * Frontiers of Growth: Women in the Industries of Tomorrow * Building Big: Women, Enterprise & the Business of Scale * Unleashing Women's Economic Potential: Reimagining the Systems Around Work The Summit underscored the importance of enabling women to move from economic participation to enterprise leadership, business ownership and a greater role in shaping India's growth. @ncbn @smritiirani @CB_CII @SuchitraElla @CIICWL @alliance30018 #WomenAndGrowthSummit2026 #TheNextLeap #WomenEntrepreneurs #WomenInBusiness #CII #AndhraPradesh
