Samsung India Empowers Women Leaders with SheLEADS: Fostering an Inclusive Future
At Samsung, empowering women in leadership is not just about representation but about driving meaningful impact. With this commitment, Samsung India has been fostering future women leaders through its flagship SheLEADS program—a dedicated leadership development initiative designed to equip women employees with the skills, confidence, and network to step into leadership roles.
After the successful launch of SheLEADS last year, Samsung has now introduced SheLEADS 2.0, expanding the program to a new cohort of 16 high-potential women professionals across multiple functions. This 14-week leadership journey provides immersive learning experiences, mentorship from senior leaders, and opportunities to develop strategic decision-making and managerial skills.
Building Women Leaders, One Step at a Time
As a global technology leader, Samsung recognizes that workplaces that excel in crafting an inclusive environment also achieve stronger business outcomes—including enhanced employee engagement, talent retention, and overall financial success. SheLEADS 2.0 is a testament to this belief, ensuring that women at Samsung have access to leadership pathways and the support to break barriers.
For participants, the program is not just about professional growth but also about building a community of women who uplift and inspire each other.
“SheLEADS helped me to enhance my core leadership skills. Be it strategic thinking, assertive communication, effective decision making or negotiation but the biggest takeaway from SheLEADS has been the power of networking and shared experiences,” said RS Annapoorna, General Manager, Legal Management. “It’s empowering to be in a room full of talented women, all striving for excellence and breaking stereotypes in the corporate world.”
Nurturing Talent across Diverse Functions
This year’s cohort of SheLEADS 2.0 includes professionals from various business verticals such as legal, marketing, supply chain, product planning, and HR. Each participant brings unique expertise, contributing to a richer, more diverse leadership pipeline within Samsung.
A Future of Inclusive Leadership
Samsung is committed to fostering a work environment where employees, regardless of gender, can thrive, grow, and lead. The company continues to build a culture where women are supported at every stage of their careers, and SheLEADS is just one of the many steps toward this goal.
As Rajni Chaudhry, Deputy General Manager, Supply Chain, Digital Appliances, puts it, “The whole program has been beautifully designed to equip the leadership competence to navigate through personal and professional environment. Overall, it has been an impactful, empowering and transformative experience.”
With programs like SheLEADS, Samsung India is shaping the future of leadership—one that is diverse, dynamic, and truly inclusive.
