Draupadi on the Dais
Most panels you attend will be missing a woman. We're fixing that.
Draupadi on the Dais is a directory of women speakers in India, built by Decoding Draupadi for anyone putting together a panel, conference or event. It lists 100+ verified speakers across 26 industries and topics, in 20+ cities.
Women leaders are still badly underrepresented in public forums. We asked decision-makers a simple question: why don't we see enough women on stage? Many told us they couldn't find them. So we built the list.
If you're putting together a panel, start here. If you belong on one, get listed.
