Send us a text

In this episode, I sit down with Reema Mahajan, founder of Indian Women in Dubai (IWD) — one of the UAE’s most powerful purpose-driven and the biggest communities.

As two Indian women living in Dubai, we had a deeply resonant conversation about cultural burdens, invisible rules, and the barriers that have shaped our identities — and how women like us are now breaking them to create freedom, visibility, and impact.

 In this powerful conversation, we dive into:

• How Reema transformed a simple online meet-up into a thriving community of 150,000+ women.
• The cultural challenges Indian women face — and what it takes to break free.
• Her transition from corporate boardrooms to leading a community movement.
• The role of identity, self-worth, and courage in creating lasting impact.
• This is not just about building a community. It’s about rewriting what it means to be an Indian woman — in Dubai and beyond.
