Women are at the heart of societal transformation, and at Prabha Khaitan Foundation, we work to amplify their voices, celebrate their achievements, and strengthen their leadership. Through initiatives like Ehsaas Women, we have built one of India’s largest communities of women change-makers across 65+ cities.

We recognize and reward excellence through the Prabha Khaitan Woman’s Voice Award and the Dr. Prabha Khaitan Award, spotlighting women’s contributions in literature and leadership. Our programs foster collaboration, mentorship, and growth – creating platforms for women to thrive and inspire others.

Our Women Empowerment initiatives is not just about equality – it is about building ecosystems where women lead with confidence and create ripples of change in society.

Programs
Ehsaas Women

Through its flagship initiative Ehsaas Women, Prabha Khaitan Foundation has created one of the largest networks of women changemakers across India and beyond. This vibrant community brings together women from diverse walks of life – entrepreneurs, professionals, artists, writers, and social leaders – who share a common vision of fostering dialogue, collaboration, and progress.

By curating cultural events, literary sessions, and social initiatives across 65+ cities, Ehsaas Women not only celebrates women’s voices but also provides them with platforms to lead and influence. These women act as catalysts of socio-cultural change, bridging communities, amplifying regional identities, and promoting inclusivity.

What began as a platform for engagement has grown into a powerful movement where women inspire, mentor, and support each other – reshaping narratives and driving transformation in society.
