How do businesses adapt in response to the challenges posed by Covid-19? Hear from
Sheba Nandkeolyar & Esha Oberoi – 2 highly successful women, who migrated to
Australia & established their own thriving businesses.
An online Forum is being organised by Lawyers with Solutions as an approved collaboration
with NSW Government Small Business Month #RebuildRechargeandRenew on March 7. The forum will share information on how to start a business, and how to #breakthebias
and thrive in challenging circumstances.
Speakers at the event are Dr Fiona Martin MP, Federal Member for Reid, and Chair of the Select Committee on Mental Health & Suicide Prevention; Sheba Nandkeolyar CEO of MultiConnexions, a leading & independent 360 integrated Digital, Marketing, Advertising, Media & PR & agency and Esha Oberoi, CEO of Afea, named as one of Australia’s fastest growing companies by the Australian Financial Review in 2021.
One of the speakers, Ms Oberoi, experienced crippling mental health challenges and
struggled to find purpose for years, until she began work as a carer in 2007. The
experience inspired her to launch Afea, which now supports more than 1,000 families
every week.
“The past two years have been incredibly challenging for women in NSW, especially
small business owners,” NSW Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said.
“NSW Women’s Week is an important time to recognise and celebrate the diversity of
women and girls in communities across our State,” said Federal Member for Reid, Dr Fiona Martin.
“These recent times have created mental health challenges while also demonstrating
the extraordinary resilience of our community, especially our small business community”.
“I truly believe that the most successful business leaders navigating the challenges of
COVID-19 will do so through flexibility, focus and fight. By this I mean, the flexibility to
adapt your business, your ways of working and mindset, the focus to keep your eye on
the end game, and the fight to keep on going even when things look tough.” said Ms
Nandkeolyar, CEO of MultiConnexions Group.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Harman Foundation Her House (which
provides accommodation to women & their children escaping domestic and family.
