"As we commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, it was my profound honor to recognize the courage and resilience of the incredible women at 'Sheroes Hangout Café' in Lucknow. This unique café, steered by acid attack survivors, stands as a beacon of hope and defiance against adversity. The team, comprising women from diverse backgrounds, not only serves delightful cuisine but also imparts indelible lessons of strength and endurance. Their extraordinary paths resonate deeply with IndianOil’s ethos. Reflecting on their powerful narratives reinforces our pledge to cultivate an environment that is both inclusive and nurturing for everyone. In the same spirit, engaging with the indomitable Dr. Arunima Sinha, Padmashree awardee and an Indane distributor, has been nothing short of inspirational. Her remarkable transition from a national-level volleyball player to the first female amputee to scale Mount Everest exemplifies the sheer force of human will. Dr. Sinha's story beautifully mirrors the essence of resilience and the remarkable impact of perseverance. On this significant day, we also celebrated the indelible spirit of our extraordinary women channel partners in Lucknow. These remarkable entrepreneurs not only manage our fuel stations with utmost dedication and efficiency but are also integral to Indane's expansive reach in the region. Our research has shown that these women-led initiatives are outperforming others by a significant margin due to their exceptional customer service and stringent adherence to safety, which in turn is propelling us towards our aspiration of zero LPG-related accidents. The success of these women not only fortifies the resolve of many aspiring women entrepreneurs but also paves the way for a future where the energy industry is shaped by diverse and empowered women leaders. Today, let's all take a moment to celebrate these women who, in the face of immense challenges, continue to triumph and redefine the landscape of our industry and society at large."
