Some participants were raised by single parents. These young women are typically first-generation learners from rural and semi-urban parts of India. Having overcome significant socio-economic barriers to enter the corporate workforce, they are now using Alkemist as a platform to strengthen their professional journeys, gain resilience, and thrive as leaders. | |||||||||||||||
