Great to see this happening in Mumbai, India. I was searching on the web to see what to write this week and found an interesting loads of information about an organization called AVTAR Career Creators & FLEXI Careers India are doing a novel initiative of re-skilling women to suit work place and they have named this concept as “The Segue Sessions”. If you are in Mumbai you should make a note of this. I guess its need to be appreciated. I am just copy pasting the data for your to have the full download.
