Ms. Shivangi Jain (B.Tech ADE 2010-2014) was awarded the Nari Shakti Award on the occasion of International Women’s Day 2020. The award acknowledges her outstanding contribution in the field of entrepreneurship with her innovative startup – Empeeps.

When asked about her journey at UPES, she says: “UPES provides several platforms that let you explore your creativity and interests. Learning here nurtures one’s academic skills as well as life skills. It gave me the exposure to stand out of the crowd, and the courage to do so gracefully. These were opportunities to interact and communicate with people from all over the country. Four years at the university taught me so much about life, culture, ethnicity, and made me confident, which then became my driving force to do something of my own”
