Karnataka, particularly Bengaluru, is brimming with possibilities. From technological to cultural and beyond. This is because it has always been a safe haven for those who think out of the box, those who stretch the rules and bring about catalysing change. And when we think of change, we usually picture men such as Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, NR Narayana Murthy, and Vivek Shanbhag. For every Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, there is a Shakuntala Devi, for every NR Narayana Murthy there is a Sudha Murty, and for every Vivek Shanbhag there is a Vaidehi. To honour these female forces, the media conglomerate The New Indian Express is back in Bengaluru with the Devi Awards to recognise these special women and their ground-breaking work.
