Here is the full text of his speech:

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Good Evening, and welcome to the third edition of Outlook Speakout.

For the last 24 years, the Outlook Group has enjoyed a great reputation in the world of Indian journalism. 

In the last three years, we have tried to make Outlook SpeakOut an outspoken extension of the magazine, on stage.

I must say, we have found our corner and we are proud of it.

Outlook Speakout has emerged as a lively platform, for the finest minds and brightest ideas, ­dictated by the optimism and anxieties of our times. 

In the last few years, sexual assault and women바카라™s empowerment movements have upended public conversation about women바카라™s issues in India and the world.

Women are waging a battle to reclaim their future: public space to workplace, the freedom to wear anything, do anything, be anything.

And people have started to listen, to the obstacles women encounter in their daily lives, both personal and professional.

As one of the most credible media groups in India, Outlook has shined a light on women바카라™s anger and efforts to get their voices off the ground바카라”  #HappyToBleed or #MeToo.

We recognise and respect women바카라™s demand for a safe world. Safe from taboo, stigma, shame, ill-health, prejudice, fear and violence. 

Our theme today is:

In its scope, it is a continuation, or the logical extension, of last year바카라™s theme: Women Empowerment. As in the past바카라¦. we have a refreshing galaxy of minds today바카라¦바카라¦ to debate openly and thoroughly the great issue of the day. 

While, Indian women are being felicitated, celebrated and awarded like never before by political parties and media of all stripes, The Outlook Group doesn바카라™t want to honour just a handful of powerful women.

We believe in talking about their problems and encourage women who contribute바카라”in ways big and small바카라”to making the life of others a little better, a little safer. 

I thank you all for joining us in our endeavour to make a difference.
