Bengaluru: The Health of Women (HOW) Forum recently presented “Corporate Diva” awards, a one of it’s kind event that celebrates women at work for their strength, substance and intellect. Corporate Diva was a platform where women from diverse areas of specialisation come together to share their experiences, network, identify synergies, share best practices, upskill themselves, undergo corporate grooming, stress management and self development. Kavitha Rao from Bangalore bagged the winner title of Corporate Diva’s 3rd Edition in a glittering grand finale held on February 24. The other winners of “Corporate Diva” were Swetha Rajmohan, Second Runner-up and Shweta Dhadwal Baid, First Runner up, who showcased their business acumen.
In all, 18 Corporate Divas from across the country came to Bangalore for the Grand Finale. The finalists presented their innovative business ideas.

Seema Ahuja, Vice President & Global Head of Communications of Biocon Group, Shazia Khan, first runner-up of the 1st Edition of Master Chef India, R T Kumar, Director, Oyster Advertising Pvt Ltd were some of the prominent juries in the panel.
Dipika Trehan, Founder of The HOW Forum and conceptualiser of Corporate Diva organised the event in association with VWash. The event was outlined after a lot of research on working women about their dreams, aspirations and ideas on making a workplace more conducive. Corporate Diva aims to help women achieve their dreams, excel at work and be the Divas.
Corporate Diva celebrates women not merely for their beauty but for their intellect, strength, substance and calibre. Spread across three months, “Corporate Diva 2018” which was held on February 24 was the culmination of participants selected from various organisations through Diva workshops.
On the day of the grand finale, the winners were judged for their on-stage presence, communication skills and executive persona. The participants also went through rounds of corporate ethnic wear, corporate western wear, talent and achievement and social work.
Corporate Diva also offered the contestants a chance to be beautified by leading beauty brands along with an exclusive photoshoot with fashion photographers and an onsite diva workshop.
About Health of Women Forum:
The HOW Forum promotes and ensures the holistic health and wellness of a woman. Started by Dipika Trehan, The HOW forum encourages women to put themselves on their own list of priority with a motto, “Making a woman fall in love again, this time with HERSELF.”
Started by Dipika Trehan, The HOW Forum curates and executes a number of fitness workshops to cater to women and mixed groups across various age groups. Some of the initiatives include “Power of SELF: a theme based self development workshop”, “Yoga and stress management at work: Quick, easy, DIY asanas and meditation techniques for a healthy and rejuvenated self at the work place” and many more.
The journey of The HOW Forum started when Dipika decided to take control of her unhealthy lifestyle. Like every young woman her age, Dipika’s odd working hours, detrimental eating habits and the lack of exercise were some of the reasons for her unhealthy weight gain and low self-esteem. The hormonal changes during her pregnancy added to the whole problem. Realising the hazards of being overweight (both physical and emotional), Dipika started taking keen interest in disciplined food intake along with regular exercise. She started practising Yoga and since then, there has been no looking back. In a span of 3 years, she managed to shed 32 kgs off her body, feeling more healthy, fit and self confident.
The HOW Forum is like a fertile land, from which stems out various workshops and seminars. Each workshop is custom made to uniquely suit individual corporate requirement. To list a few:
Yoga at Work
Wellness Seminars
Self-awareness and Stress Management
Corporate Grooming and Etiquette Training
Corporate Power Dressing
Motivational Talks and Self-development Sessions
