This community-focused program features an 11-city national roadshow, with Ahmedabad serving as the significant sixth stop on this empowering journey.
“Ahmedabad stands at the crossroads of tradition and transformation. Today, we celebrate the incredible energy, ambition, and resilience of the women shaping its future. SheExports is more than just an event; it’s a movement to empower, inspire, and build a community where women uplift one another,” remarked Saloni Vaishnav, Marketing Manager APAC and PR Lead at Payoneer.

He provided actionable strategies for international scaling, emphasizing the need to combine human insight with technology, create bias-free recruitment systems, and foster a globally agile mindset. “In today’s unpredictable landscape of shifting geopolitics and trade policies, achieving business success requires more than hard work; it demands persistence, adaptability, and resilience. For cross-border enterprises, staying alert and strategically agile is essential to navigate constant global changes,” asserted Viral Vora during his discussion.
