About Vedica

Vedica for Women is a not-for-profit institution strengthening the ecosystem for women and work. We question everyday practices and design solutions that unlock the potential of urban educated women to shape a more gender-balanced social, economic and political reality.

To be the go-to institution for all matters related to women and work.

To enable women to lead lives of dignity through career-led financial independence by building individual capability and nurturing environments where women can learn, work and lead.

Women’s educational gains have not translated into equal access,

retention or leadership at work. Structural and cultural barriers continue to shape opportunity, mobility and long-term advancement.

Vedica exists to address these gaps by building awareness through research and public engagement, driving dialogue with employers, educators and systems, and taking action through programmes and community initiatives that strengthen both women and the environments in which they learn, work and lead.

Our Story

Founded in 2015, Vedica began as an innovative programme for early-career women. From that focus on individual transformations, in the last ten years Vedica has grown into a broader institution working across multiple areas for systemic change.
We empower urban educated women who, as catalysts of change, help build a more equal and inclusive world of work.
