Anupriya Acharya, Publicis Groupe South Asia CEO, commends development towards gender diversity within the industry but stresses more to be done. She focuses on the necessity to build doors of opportunity for women to grow to leadership levels with emphasis on mentorship, empowerment, and belonging. Acharya, who was a first to break boundaries within Indian advertising, has been responsible for creating and driving growth for the industry as well as nurturing women in leadership. Her leadership philosophy is based on the acceptance of challenges and creating an environment in which women may lead and effect change. As an influential figure in the sector, Acharya continues to motivate young women seeking leadership roles and encourage them to have faith in themselves and speak louder.
Acharya's dedication to gender equality is a reflection of the larger industry-wide efforts, for example, that of Publicis Groupe CEE to create inclusive workspaces where women's careers flourish. Her vision of an equitable tomorrow reiterates the necessity for continuous efforts toward equal opportunities for women in leadership.
