On April 15, 2025, FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) launched its first event of the 2025–26 tenure under the dynamic leadership of Chairperson Dr. Rimmi Shekhawat. The much-anticipated event featured a distinguished guest speaker – Mrs. Twinkle Khanna – and was held at the majestic Rambagh Palace, the former royal residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur.
FLO members were thrilled to welcome the multi-faceted Twinkle Khanna – author, producer, columnist, former actress, and founder of Tweak India. Her presence marked a memorable beginning to the new tenure.
Chairperson Dr. Rimmi Shekhawat shared her vision for the year, encapsulated in the motto: “For the Members, Of the Members, and By the Members.” She emphasized, “Women by nature are multitaskers and hence multi-talented. I always envisioned Twinkle Khanna as my first speaker – she truly personifies wisdom with wit, power, intelligence, and success.”
The event opened with a powerful speech by FLO’s Founder Chairperson and the only National President from Rajasthan, Mrs. Neeta Ji Boochra. She extended her heartfelt wishes for the new tenure and stated, “The empowerment of women is the key to unlocking the nation’s potential – and today, we witness a woman who has made a global impact.”
The highlight of the event was an engaging conversation between Twinkle Khanna and Dr. Rimmi Shekhawat. Twinkle candidly shared her life journey, offering deep insights into womanhood, empowerment, and self-discovery. She remarked that while women have traditionally shouldered responsibilities at home, these roles contribute to their exceptional management and leadership skills. “Rather than viewing it as a burden, it’s a strength – a feather in our cap,” she noted.
Twinkle’s relentless pursuit of growth, even after becoming one of India’s top-selling authors, left the audience inspired. Her parting message, “Real growth lies in continuously discovering oneself,” resonated deeply with all attendees.
The event concluded with the unveiling of FLO’s flagship initiative – ‘The Jeevan Rakhsha Vaahan’ (Mammo Vans) – in collaboration with the Health Ministry of Rajasthan. These mobile mammography units will travel across the state, conducting year-round screenings for breast and cervical cancer, especially in remote regions.
The evening was a resounding success and marked a promising start to Dr. Rimmi Shekhawat’s tenure, promising an elevated impact on women’s empowerment, growth, and the celebration of heritage.
