It is worth noting that the battles women confront demand a high level of merit and a real will to break the ceiling. BW Disrupt Most Influential Women list is an initiative supported by BW Businessworld that not only recognises but also celebrates the entrepreneurial impact these women have made in their respective sectors.
Each has their own story of leading their empires, driving their lives and rising to the greater heights. It is not only about working on a business idea but it is also required to pay equal attention to sustainable operations, stable financial growth, equality amongst co-workers, continuous evolution and adapting to the new norms.
These women being on the top of the pyramid have been handling investment deals, announcing the latest initiatives, capturing the market potential, integrating technology and so much more. Leaders like these will continue to stamp their business growth in a more glorious way, launch IPOs and will encourage emerging women leaders.
Here are the 15 women who are the most influential, inspiring and leading by example in the startup ecosystem.
