Describing a gender-equal society, Nilima Achwal, an entrepreneur, writer and investigator working towards gender-equal India through high-impact, scalable approaches is scheduled to talk at this year's TEDx IIM Raipur event to be held on November 29.

She is currently the founder and CEO of a social venture Iesha, which educates and empowers Indian youth on sexual, reproductive, and gender issues, by leveraging technology, for a more gender-equal India.
