Nirupama Rao holds the prestigious position of India’s Ambassador to one of the most influential countries of the world, the USA.
Nirupama Rao’s diplomatic career spans several decades and she has worked in important roles in many countries across the world including China, Russia and Sri Lanka among several others.
Known as much for her elegant cotton saris as well as for her articulate and insightful talks, Nirupama Rao acts as a strong connecting link between India and the US. She works towards building better trade and economic relations between the two countries.
Keeping up with the times, Nirupama Rao is highly active on Twitter, earning herself a spot in Foreign Policy’s global list of 100 Most Influential Women on Twitter.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For having many impressive ‘firsts’ to her credit: she was India’s first woman Ambassador to China and India’s first woman High Commissioner to Sri Lanka.
– For being the educated, accomplished and empowered face of India in the US.
– For managing to find an effective balance between motherhood and a high profile career which involves extensive travelling.
– For setting a fitting example to young Indian women to aim high and to work hard.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
