On International Women’s Day in March this year, Reliance Foundation's chairperson Nita Ambani also launched a digital platform for women called Her Circle, termed as an "inclusive, collaborative, interactive, and socially-conscious digital movement".
The initiative is aimed to be a worldwide digital collective of women — beginning with Indian women but open to participation of women from all over the globe.
"It is an all-encompassing content, social media and goal fulfilment community that caters to the rapidly rising aspirations, ambitions, dreams and competencies of women of all social backgrounds," said Ambani.
Moneycontrol is a part of the Network18 group. Network18 is controlled by Independent Media Trust, of which Reliance Industries is the sole beneficiary.
