women that choose to challenge!
daftarkhwan opened its door in 2016 with a vision of supporting entrepreneurs in their entrepreneurial journeys. With saying that we had always envisioned to facilitate the superwomen of our country by providing them with #morethanjustanoffice where they could grow without any unnecessary obstacles. Women as we call them: brave, resilient, ambitious, and talented are capable of achieving anything in this world.
This women’s day we have been fortunate to highlight our superwomen: a core function of our supercommunity who also happen to be the founders of some of the most phenomenal startups that are doing exceptionally well in their area of interest.

This year’s theme “Choose to Challenge” for us means standing up against gender biasness and supporting the female entrepreneurs. According to a report by The International Labour Organization (ILO), women on average are paid 20% less than men across the world. This women’s day, let’s hope the gender pay gap reduces, the disparity between men and women mitigates, let’s hope things change for the better and strongly believe that better times are yet to come.
The women of today never cease to surprise us with their unlimited, unbounded and unquantifiable amount of positive energy. More power to all the women around the globe. May you all keep shining the way you do — Happy Women’s Day!
