Meet These 9 Women of Indian Origin Who Made It to Forbes' 30-Under-30 List

 

Indian women are no longer behind Indian men any longer. Both the sexes achieving the same milestones that people their age are achieving across the world, and that too well ahead of their time.But, while we're celebrating the Indian presence in the list- mostly male, it'd be a crime to forget that as many as nine Indian women also found themselves a cushy mention on the list.

The latest evidence to that is the fact that 45 Indian-origin change makers made it to Forbes' annual list of 30-under-30 which consists of a variety of "bright entrepreneurs, breakout talents and change agents" across various sectors like Media, Games, Sports, Venture Capital, Art and Style etc.
Forbes just released its 30-under-30 list of young achievers for 2016, featuring 45 entrepreneurs of Indian origin. Nine of them are women, and they’re making us very, very proud with their accomplishments!

If that's not a blinking green signal for women empowerment, what is, really?
Here Are These Nine Indian women who made it huge before they reached 30 and got Forbes' to acknowledge the same.

Take a bow, girls!
