The First and Only: India and the Nordics

By Rina Sunder and A DMI Publication

Book Overview

What happens when the world's largest democracy meets the world's most gender-equal region?

Across continents and cultures, India and the Nordic countries offer powerful models for inclusive leadership, sustainable innovation, and gender-balanced progress. Together, they are shaping the future.

The First and Only brings to life the untold journeys of trailblazing women, visionary organizations, and daring pioneers redefining what leadership looks like today.

Inspired by the spirit of Nari Shakti-the strength of women-this book honours those who have stepped into spaces where no one looked like them before. From grassroots movements in India to boardrooms in the Nordics, their stories ignite courage, insight, and a powerful roadmap for a more just world.

It is also a tribute to the men who walk beside them, as allies, mentors, and champions of change, proving that real transformation happens when we move forward together.
