Leadership Awards to recognise firms and individuals across 10 categories, blending financial performance with DEI progress to highlight the role of diversity in investment success
Mumbai, 11th March 2025: Marking five years of championing gender diversity in private equity (PE-VC) and venture capital, Winpe, a gender diversity-focused not-for-profit platform, is all set to host the third edition of its Winpe Leadership Summit and Awards. The event will take place on 20th March 2025 at Taj Lands End, Mumbai.
At a time when diversity commitments in global investing are being questioned, WLSA 2025 stands as a timely and necessary counterpoint. With a strong track record of impactful programs, WLSA 2025 will showcase how integrating DEI with financial performance is shaping the future of investing. As the PE-VC industry evolves, diversity is no longer just a moral imperative—it’s a business advantage. In this dynamic landscape, WLSA 2025 will build on the success of its two previous editions, which collectively saw over 850 attendees, 275 firms, and 100 speakers. This year, the summit will feature insightful discussions on global economic trends, business scaling, and the evolving PE-VC landscape, highlighting the role of diversity in driving sustainable success.
At the heart of the event are the Winpe Leadership Awards, recognising firms and individuals across 10 categories for their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). These awards uniquely blend financial performance with DEI progress, reinforcing how inclusive leadership fosters long-term industry growth.
“Over the past five years, Winpe has worked relentlessly to turn conversations on diversity into concrete action. While women-led startups in India raised over $930 million in 2024—a remarkable 94% YoY surge—these numbers are just the beginning. True impact lies in sustained industry-wide commitment to inclusion, where diverse leadership is not an exception but the norm. With WLSA 2025, we aim to set new benchmarks for diversity in investing, ensuring that equitable representation becomes a fundamental driver of financial success,” said Nupur Garg, Founder, Winpe.
India ranked 129th out of 146 countries in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2024, underscoring the urgency for stronger DEI efforts across sectors. With WLSA 2025, Winpe is not just sparking conversations but driving measurable change. By bringing together thought leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs, the event seeks to shape a more inclusive, forward-looking investment landscape—where diversity is embedded in decision-making, not just discussed as an aspiration
