Mrs Bhakti Gautam Chheda Conferred CA Women Excellence Award 2025: A Legacy of Leadership Beyond Balance Sheets

New Delhi [India], February 14: In a profession often defined by numbers, compliance, and caution, Mrs Bhakti Gautam Chheda has spent over two decades proving that the true measure of leadership lies not only in financial acumen but in vision, courage, and societal impact. Her conferment of the CA Woman Startup Award at the 3rd CA Women Excellence Awards stands as a powerful acknowledgement of a career that has consistently crossed traditional boundaries, linking corporate excellence with nation-building through sport, education, and inclusion.

The award, instituted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), recognises women Chartered Accountants who have demonstrated exceptional professional excellence while making meaningful contributions to society. Mrs. Chheda’s journey fits this ethos precisely: measured, strategic, and deeply purpose-driven.

From Global Boardrooms to Grassroots India

A dynamic Chartered Accountant by profession, Bhakti began her professional career in high-stakes global environments. With senior roles across multinational corporations, investment banks, and private equity firms, including industry giants such as Halliburton and Deloitte. She built a formidable foundation in corporate finance, investment strategy, and systems audit. Over 20 years, she earned a reputation for precision, governance-driven thinking, and the ability to navigate complexity at scale.

Yet, as her career progressed, a deeper calling emerged, one that could not be contained within boardrooms alone.

“I realised that true impact is not only about managing capital,” she has often reflected, “but about building ecosystems that allow people to grow.”

The Birth of a New Sports Ecosystem

In 2019, Bhakti co-founded SGlobal Acumen Pvt. Ltd. (SGA), a Pune-based startup with a bold, unconventional vision: to revolutionise India’s grassroots sports ecosystem through structured systems, technology, and education.

At a time when sports development in India remained fragmented, often dependent on individual talent rather than institutional support, SGA introduced a professional, data-backed, and inclusive model. The organisation bridged the long-standing gap between raw talent and opportunity by designing high-performance athlete systems, managing national-level sporting events, and integrating circular economy principles into sports operations.

Under her leadership, SGA positioned itself as a first-choice partner for grassroots sports development in India, combining operational excellence with social responsibility.

Measurable Impact, National Scale

The numbers behind SGA’s work tell a compelling story, but they are best understood as outcomes of disciplined leadership rather than goals in themselves.

Over the last five years, SGA has achieved nearly 50x growth, delivering large-scale, high-complexity sporting projects across the country, often in collaboration with multiple national and institutional partners. These include:

• 38th National Games, Uttarakhand
• 37th National Games, Goa
• FIDE Chess World Cup 2025, Goa
• 11th Asian Aquatics Championship 2025
• 27th National Youth Festival, Nashik
• Multiple editions of Khelo India Youth and University Games
• State Olympics Maharashtra 2023, Pune
• Late Khashaba Jadhav Wrestling Tournament 2023, Udgir
• Para Khelo India 2025, Delhi

Beyond event delivery, SGA has managed logistics and operations across more than 30 cities, supported 60,000+ athletes and officials, overseen sports infrastructure projects exceeding ₹500 crore, and enabled millions of athlete movements through integrated transport and operations planning.

What distinguishes this growth is not scale alone, but consistency built on governance, compliance, and risk management principles drawn directly from Bhakti’s Chartered Accountancy background.

Democratising Sports Science Education

Recognising that sustainable sports development requires more than events, Bhakti helped in the expansion of SGA’s mission into education and capacity building. Through SGA’s high-performance centres and online education platforms, she has worked to democratise access to sports science education across India and beyond.

These government-recognised, skill-based certification programmes span sports nutrition, psychology, injury management, talent identification, and sports data analytics, creating a pipeline of industry-ready coaches, athletes, and professionals.

Her belief is unambiguous: every woman, para-athlete, rural learner, and working professional deserves access to knowledge that empowers independence and excellence.

A Leader Redefining the Role of Chartered Accountants

The CA Women Excellence Award recognises not only Bhakti’s professional longevity, but her role in redefining what it means to be a Chartered Accountant in modern India.

She represents a generation of CAs who move beyond compliance into creation using financial discipline as a launchpad for innovation, inclusion, and systemic change. Her work demonstrates how core accounting principles, transparency, accountability, and long-term thinking can be applied to sectors as dynamic and human-centric as sport.

By integrating financial rigour with social vision, she has shown that Chartered Accountants can be architects of ecosystems, not just custodians of balance sheets.

A Recognition Rooted in Purpose

Speaking on the occasion of receiving the award, Bhakti dedicated the honour to the countless athletes, educators, professionals, and women who continue to build quietly, often without visibility.

“For every athlete who dreams bigger, every woman who learns fearlessly, and every learner who believes in the power of knowledge, we are building more than platforms. We are building possibility.”

This philosophy runs through every chapter of her career, measured, grounded, and forward-looking.

Looking Ahead

As India’s sports sector enters a phase of rapid institutionalisation and global engagement, leaders like Bhakti will play a critical role in shaping its future. With SGA expanding its footprint across technology-enabled sports management, education, and analytics, the coming years promise a deeper impact and wider reach.

The CA Women Excellence Award 2025 is not merely a recognition of past accomplishments. It is a marker of sustained excellence and a reminder that when professional integrity meets social vision, the results can transform industries.

For the Chartered Accountancy profession, for Indian sport, and for women leaders across sectors, Mrs Bhakti Gautam Chheda’s journey offers a blueprint worth studying and a legacy still unfolding.

New Delhi [India], February 11: Safer Internet Day 2026 — On the occasion of Safer Internet Day, Girl Effect India announced the launch of Tipi Tipi Talk, an interactive school-based programme that helps young people talk about issues that concern them, build confidence, and spark open conversations on various topics, including navigating the online world safely and respectfully. The first “Talk” is called the “TechHinsa Talk” that is part of Girl Effect India’s broader India vs Tech Hinsa campaign, which takes head-on the growing challenge of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV).

Delivered through structured workshops at school, the programme also creates safe spaces for peer learning. It establishes Digital Safety Clubs and trains students as Digital Safety Ambassadors to lead conversations and promote safer online practices within their schools. In its current rollout, the initiative will be implemented in Delhi across 45 schools, reaching 45,000 students, establishing 45 Digital Safety Clubs, and training 225 Digital Safety Ambassadors.

Speaking about the initiative, Kavita Ayyagari, Country Director, Girl Effect India, said, “Today’s generation is growing up online, and the internet can become a dark place if young people are not taught how to safeguard themselves. With growing instances of online harm against girls, we need to teach them how to be safe. For boys, we need them to be empathetic friends and be responsible. For girls especially, internet safety matters more because it is tied to freedom — freedom to learn, to speak, to create, and to belong. As digital use continues to grow, understanding and acting on online risks isn’t optional — it’s essential. Tipi Tipi Talk is an initiative to help boys and girls talk about TechHinsa and learn to navigate digital spaces safely and responsibly.”

Digital platforms are now an integral part of young people’s lives — but so are the risks. Globally, one-third of all internet users are children, and in India alone, an estimated 15% of active internet users are between the ages of 5 and 11. As children and adolescents come online earlier and in greater numbers, exposure to technology-facilitated harm has risen sharply. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau show that reported cybercrimes against women increased from 8,379 cases in 2019 to 14,409 in 2022, marking a 71% rise over four years. The increase has been even more pronounced for children: cybercrime cases reported against minors rose from 305 in 2019 to 1,823 in 2022, representing a 497% increase in the same period. These harms are not just statistics; they shape young lives. “The more I scroll, the more I see judgment, rumours, and pressure — and it gets hard to separate real connection from hurt,” says Tanya (name changed), a 17-year-old student and social media user. “Girls are expected to be careful, but we’re not taught how to protect ourselves online.”

Tipi Tipi Talk is an interactive school-based programme for students in Classes 8–12 that brings digital safety conversations into classrooms in engaging and relatable ways and teaches young girls and boys how to be safe online. Through animated films, real-life scenarios, and guided discussions, it simplifies complex topics such as online safety, technology-facilitated harm, consent, privacy, and respectful behaviour into practical, age-appropriate lessons students can apply to their everyday digital lives. Tailored separately for Classes 8–10 and 11–12, the curriculum also includes easy discussion guides for parents and teachers and will be rolled out with local partners in Delhi and Mumbai and expanded to other cities in India, engaging students alongside their teachers and their parents.

Tipi Tipi Talk expands Girl Effect India’s ongoing work to address technology-facilitated gender-based violence, building on the India Vs TechHinsa campaign and bringing prevention and digital safety directly into schools.

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], February 13: Actress and producer Iti Acharya is steadily emerging as a prominent voice in Indian regional cinema, creating a strong presence across major film festivals from Rajasthan to Karnataka. With her roots in Rajasthan and a flourishing career in Bengaluru, Iti exemplifies the new generation of artistes breaking regional barriers while championing women-centric storytelling.

Iti was recently invited to speak at Women of Cinema panel discussion at the Rajasthan International Film Festival (RIFF) 2026, held in Jodhpur. The panel featured well-known names from Indian cinema, including Aditi Pohankar, Seema Kapoor and Jayati Bhatia, and focused on the evolving role of women in Indian films, both in front of and behind the camera.

The appearance followed a major achievement for Iti, her Kannada film “4by4,” received a Special Jury Mention at the Bangalore International Film Festival (BIFFES) 2026. The recognition places 4by4 among the notable women-led films showcased at BIFFES and highlights the growing importance of meaningful regional cinema in India.

She acknowledged the Kannada film industry and Kannada audiences for embracing her work and providing a platform to grow.

The film explores contemporary women’s struggles and stands out as an all-women-led project—both in storytelling and perspective—reflecting a broader shift in Indian regional cinema towards inclusive, socially relevant narratives.

“Women’s struggles have changed with time, and cinema must evolve to reflect those realities. Films have the power to create awareness and spark conversations across cultures and languages,” said Acharya.

New Delhi [India], February 12: One of Bollywood’s most beautiful actresses, Divya Bharti may have acted in a few films, but there has rarely been a heroine like her, who starred in 12 films at the beginning of her career, all of which were huge hits. She departed the world at a very young age, passing away at just 19. Songs like “Aisi Deewangi” and “Saat Samandar” are still remembered by people. However, the cause of the actress’s death remains unclear. To this day, Divya’s death remains a mystery.

These two pictures are again appearing on social media. Who is this Navya Shree

Navyashree was born on February 25, 2003, in Kolkata and raised in the tranquil hills of Darjeeling. Her real name is Manju Thapa.  From a very young age, she demonstrated tremendous creativity and intellectual ability. Remarkably, by the age of 15, she had already won numerous awards for her talents, demonstrating a maturity beyond her years.

Life hasn’t always been easy for Navya. She lost her father at the young age of 9 and was raised by her mother, who became her strongest support system. Despite her hardships, Navya never let circumstances deter her dreams.

Navya Shree is known for her successes as well as her courage. She gained recognition after winning prestigious titles like Planet Miss India 2018, Miss Teen Republic of India 2018, and Miss Northeast 2018.

In addition to beauty pageants, Navya Shree has carved a niche for herself as a social media star and actress.  She has worked in the Nepali film industry and gained immense popularity in 2021 after going viral as a lookalike of the late Bollywood actress Divya Bharti. This recognition opened doors for her in various film industries, including Bollywood, Telugu, Odia, and Bhojpuri cinema, as well as other regional platforms. Many people sometimes call her Sridevi and sometimes Divya Bharti. Will she ever see that bubbly girl again?

When she met a director, he said, he suggested that Navyashree undergo eye surgery. “It will make her look even better and more beautiful.” She underwent the surgery, and her eyes were damaged. Her face looked swollen. During this time, she stopped working for a few years. After some treatment, she now looks very beautiful and well. She explained that she had a very bad time in her life, but now everything is fine. She is fine now and has even worked in several music videos. She always motivated herself to work hard and never give up.

Navyashree not only looks like Divya Bharti, but their birthdays also fall on the same date. Reportedly, Divya Bharti was born on February 25, 1974, and Navyashree was born on February 25, 2003.

A photo of Navyashree is resurfacing on social media.

People are liking her photos. Navyashree is getting opportunities in the film industry. Will that bubbly girl be seen again? Will that girl from across the seven seas return after 33 years?
