The day resonated with energy as breakthrough founders led intimate masterclasses, while leaders like Geetika Mehta, Nandita Sinha, and Jo Aggarwal shared candid conversations about turning audacious dreams into reality.

      From reimagining traditional businesses to pioneering AI breakthroughs, from transforming how India shops to taking companies public – each story reinforced that when women dare to dream big, extraordinary things happen. The summit culminated in a groundbreaking report launch and a fierce discussion about claiming our seats at every table.

      About the Summit​

      If women come together, no dream is too audacious!

      The CXXO NoCeiling Summit is a platform for women of the Indian startup ecosystem to connect and forge impactful networks. This intimate gathering brings together female founders, investors, and ecosystem enablers to celebrate achievements and create a space where dreams take flight and boundaries dissolve.

      Our theme this year is Audacity to Dream – a journey we’ve all embarked upon. 

      We will shine light on the journeys of women whose bold visions have propelled them to turn their dreams into reality. This event is an opportunity to share and celebrate our experiences and successes, reinforcing the belief that, if women together, no dream is too audacious.

      We’ll delve into thought-provoking questions that demand conversation: How do we cultivate courage to dream big?

       What role does audacity play in shaping our future?

      How can we support and amplify each other’s boldest aspirations? And what steps can we take to turn our most audacious dreams into reality?

      Let’s come together to celebrate the Audacity to Dream that resides in every woman entrepreneur!
