About us

The Council is an up-to-date and diverse community of businesswomen, female entrepreneurs, and change-makers from across India and the European Union. Serving as a networking platform, it aims to highlight their accomplishments and unique experiences. By facilitating the exchange of knowledge, business opportunities, and best practices, the Council generates awareness of women's contributions to developing India-EU relations.

This initiative emerged in response to the underrepresentation of female leaders in the business world, including senior-level positions, advisory boards, and conferences. The idea for the Council was conceived by Ada Dyndo, a Poland-India business advisor based in India for over eight years. Having headed the Polish Investment and Trade Agency office in India at the age of twenty-seven, Ada, like many other young female professionals, faced the marginalization of women and noticed a lack of gender diversity and unequal opportunities. With the support of the WICCI Team, Ada founded the India-EU Business Council to fuel and highlight the success of incredible women she has met and hopes to meet along the way.

The Council is endorsed by the Women’s Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WICCI), a global network of 250,000 members worldwide, including 60,000 in India. WICCI drives fundamental changes in governmental policies, laws, incentives, and entrepreneurial ecosystems, aiming to encourage and empower women robustly in business, industry, and commerce across all sectors and fields.

WICCI's India-EU Business Council

Gender equality is a core principle of the European Union, but it is not yet a reality. In business, politics and society as a whole, we can only reach out full potential if we use all of our talent and diversity. Using only half of the population, half of the ideas or half of the energy is not good

I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.
