About the Publication

The First and Only: India & The Nordics – Breaking Barriers, Building Futures is a powerful new book that brings together the voices of trailblazers working at the intersection of leadership, gender equality, sustainability, and cross-cultural collaboration.

The book is a tribute to those who have stepped into spaces where few have gone before—and have made it easier for others to follow. With contributors from India and the Nordics, The First and Only explores the powerful stories of women, companies, and allies who are shaping a more equitable future.

The First and Only is more than a book—it’s a call to action for inclusive leadership and a tribute to those building bridges across continents.
