About Aditi G
Aditi is enabling young girls from rural India to practice their agency.
Realising the strengths and shortcomings of Hashtag activism, Aditi started Empowerette to help underprivileged girls through a mentorship program to develop leadership and support emotional health, with attention to holistic growth. With her growing team in Ujjain, Aditi has organized weekly mentorship sessions with a cohort-based model of girls from rural backgrounds. Empowerrette facilitates knowledge, support and leadership insights from female early career professionals to these girls. Aditi has witnessed that girls are more confident and are building the agency to change their own lives. Aditi faced challenges, but what fuelled her was focusing on her passion for the cause.
