IMC LADIES WING HOSTS WOMEN ENTREPRENEUR'S EXHIBITION 

ACTOR SONAM KAPOOR AND OLYMPIC SWIMMING LEGEND STEPHANIE RICE 

JOIN ILLUSTRIOUS GUEST LIST AND COMMITTEE AT THE OPENING

EXHIBITION TO PROMOTE B2B NETWORKING FOR PARTICIPANTS AND A FOCUS ON GEN NEXT 

The IMC’s Ladies’ Wing celebrates its Golden Juiblee this year, and presents their much awaited Women Entrepreneurs’ (WE) Exhibition, on August 23-24, at the Dome @ NSCI in Mumbai. 

The two-day exhibition has created a distinguished name for itself as a coveted shopping destination, patronised by Mumbai's elite, with an enviable melange of products that range from lifestyle and fashion to food and more. In keeping with the IMC's mission to provide relevant platforms for creativity and enterprise in women the exhibition will see 195 skilled women from across the country, who do not have a retail presence, showing exclusively designed apparel and bespoke jewellery, lifestyle, personal care, gourmet, home décor products and much more.

In order to further the interests of women entrepreneurs, this year the IMC is focusing on creating specific B2B networking opportunities for the participants, for instance having time slots for multi-designer store owners to preview participant's collections collections before the exhibition opens to the public to set up future business opportunities. Another focus of the exhibition is "Gen-Next" which aims to promote talent in the group of women who are under 30.  

A mobile app has been specially curated for the exhibition to help exhibition guests locate stalls beforehand. 

Actress, Sonam Kapoor, says, “The IMC is in its Golden Jubilee Year and this exhibition is a wonderful example of their consistent effort over the years, to bring to the fore the tremendous talent and skill of Indian women. I am happy to be here to officially open the exhibition.”

The event has always drawn support from celebrities from all walks of life. This year the exhibition will be opened by Bollywood Actress, Sonam Kapoor. She is joined by the illustrious Australian swimmer, winner of 3 Olympic Gold Medals, Stephanie Rice. Other illustrious dignitaries who will be attending are Pinky Reddy, Rashmi Thackrey, Reshma-Suleiman Merchant, Kanika Kapoor, Bhagyashree, Juhi Chawla, Shaina NC, and many others.   

Stephanie Rice, who has been a well-known proponent of women's causes, says, “I have always supported women empowerment and every effort that helps to showcase their unique talents, whether it's an athlete, an entrepreneur or an artist. I am honoured to be here at the IMC Ladies’ Wing Women Entrepreneur exhibition and support and encourage this noble effort.” 

President, Radhika Nath, says, “This year is about empowering women to make the most of their opportunities. It’s about inspiring women to believe in themselves and to give form to their dreams.

Guest of Honour, Pinky Reddy states, “I know IMC Ladies Wing is one of the first organisation to bring in the concept of Women Entrepreneur Exhibition in Mumbai. In fact it used to be the only huge exhibition I had attended earlier and have only seen it evolve every year.”

Co-chair Kaushika Hemdev, adds, "We are delighted with the response to the exhibition. There are many events in the city but the attendance at our opening shows the niche that IMC has created in terms of its work and it arises from our purpose of promoting the immense talent of women entrepreneurs."  

Chairperson, Anuja Mittal shares, “In order to cater to the young audience we have balanced this year’s exhibition by getting participants from each genre. We aim at setting higher standards every year.”

Director Farah Khan and Sajid Khan have unveiled the book cover for author Jeet Gian's new funny book 'The Three Wise Monkeys' which will be launched in second week of September.


ABOUT THE BOOK
The trio Amar, Akbar, and Anthony had no clue whatsoever about their goddammit indecisive careers and indefinite struggles.And that was because they were born with the Peter Pan Syndrome and were simple enough to be tricked by anyone, including their mystifying girlfriends Meghna, Farah and Sarah. 
And as is the fate of all morons, they were drawn into trouble deep trouble of hiding crores of rupees of black money in secret of shore companies. Will their mistake of turning a blind eye to the philosophy of ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ cost them their careers and put them in prison?  Or Will Lady Luck change their fortunes forever?


ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jeet Gian is a Chartered Accountant and the founding partner of JCA Consulting Group based in Dubai (U.A.E). At present he lives in Dubai with his family. To know more about Jeet, visit www. jeetgian.com or write to him at info@jeetgian.com.

More on Sophie's Mystery man


Sophie put up a picture which caused a lot of speculation and led many to announce she is engaged and getting married. We tried getting in touch with her but with no confirmation we felt we needed to dig deeper and we have managed to come across this exclusive image. Turns out the one posing in the photo with Sophie is none other than actor and super model Freddy Daruwala. Now we are quite sure these 2 are not engaged so clearly something is brewing on the professional front and this was just an extremely clever ploy! In fact it looks like Sophie's friends Bipasha Basu, Neha Dhupia, Amrita Rao, Ashish etc were all part of this cleverly crafted master plan. Knowing Sophie it is most likely a brand new song but since she isn't confirming we will have to wait and watch. Until then all those broken hearts can breathe a sigh of relief. We are pretty sure this stunner is still single but she sure caused a Hungama!"
