It
started 20 years ago, when five women came together
to create a platform that voiced the concerns of
women entrepreneurs, businesswomen and women
professionals. The vision was to empower women and
promote entrepreneurship and professional
excellence among them. The movement has since gained
momentum. And today, there are over a thousand
members of FLO all across the country. |

Working
under the aegis of FICCI (Federation of Indian
Chambers of Commerce and Industry) provides FLO with
an invaluable pool of resources and infrastructure.
Eminent professionals from various industries offer
guidance and share their experiences with aspiring
women at seminars and conferences held regularly by
FLO. The widespread network of FICCI also helps
in reaching out to more and more women around the
globe.
The effort is directed at encouraging women to
become self-reliant. And take charge of their
own life. Exploit their own talent to the fullest
and find recognition in the professional world. In
effect, earn respect for their capabilities and
strengths. As women comprise of nearly half of our
population, utilizing their skills and talents goes
a long way in improving the economic condition of
the nation. Moreover, it helps create a better
society for all of us.
The key lies in knowledge. In expanding the
horizons. FLO take up the responsibility of
imparting awareness among women. It ranges from
guidance in professional matters to personality
development. From career opportunities to tacking
domestic violence. Becoming a catalyst for
socio-economic advancement of women. Encouraging
them to take their rightful place as equal partners
with men in all spheres of life.
FLO has spread its activities throughout the country
in the last 20 years. It’s chapters in all four
regions of the country-North, south, East and west-
serve as nodal centres to reach the remotest corners
of the country. Today, FLO has chapters in Chennai,
Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and now in
Jaipur. FLO provides a platform even on the
international scale as delegations from all across
the world regularly visit India to exchange their
views and explore business opportunities As we
extend our operations, we look forward to new ideas;
powerful ideas that enhance FLO’s Power to empower.
