Give To Gain: When She Rises, We All Rise

Date: March 09, 2026
Place: Virtually Via Zoom

Dear Esteemed Members,
 
In times like these, when the world around us may feel uncertain and distractions arise due to prevailing situations, it becomes even more important that we do not lose sight of what truly matters. International Women’s Day is not merely a celebration—it is a reaffirmation of respect, recognition, and gratitude for the invaluable contributions of women in every sphere of life. Such an occasion cannot and should not be set aside because of external circumstances.
 
While we remain mindful of the current situation and the guidance from authorities regarding large gatherings, our commitment to celebrating this important day remains unwavering. Accordingly, our Women’s Day CPE Session will now be conducted virtually via Zoom, ensuring both safety and continued participation.
 
We are honoured to have Ms. Bindu N Nair, Second Secretary (Information, Culture & Education) – Embassy of India, as our Chief Guest, along with an inspiring panel of esteemed speakers:
* Ms. Asna Nafees – Principal, DPS MIS, Doha
* Ms. Sophia Azizian – Engagement Quality Review Partner & Qatar Assurance Leader, Qatar
* CA. Saumya Krishna – Director, M&A, Deloitte
* Dr. Malvika Iyer – Motivational Speaker
 
All our distinguished speakers had graciously agreed to join us in person earlier, but in view of the present situation, we have shifted the session to a virtual format. This ensures that we respect the advisory of the authorities by avoiding large gatherings, while still coming together to celebrate and honour the spirit of Women’s Day.
 
Date: Monday, 09 March 2026
Platform: Zoom
Meeting link will be shared one hour prior to the session.
 
We warmly encourage all members to join this meaningful session and be part of a celebration that recognises the strength, resilience, and achievements of women.
 
Let us come together, even if virtually, to celebrate this important day with the respect and dignity it deserves.
 
Regards,
ICAI Doha Chapter Team
