Celebrating the spirit of womanhood

KOCHI: The Women’s Forum 2020 of the Kerala Management Association is holding a one-day seminar named ‘Metamorphosis’ at the Renai Kochi on March 5, from 9am. “The aim is to let women understand their core strengths so that they could transform into effective corporate executives, academicians and entrepreneurs,” said chairperson Nirmala L.

So we want to celebrate this spirit with an array of achievers and inspiring women,” she said.
