S4E163: Sanjam Sahi Gupta: Building Maritime SheEO and Fighting for Gender Equality in Shipping
She runs a family shipping business, founded the world’s largest gender equality conference in maritime history, has advised heads of government on ocean action, and now sits on India’s apex shipping policy body. All in an industry never designed to include her.
In this episode of The AboutHer Show, I sit down with Sanjam Sahi Gupta — Director of Sitara Shipping, Founder of Maritime SheEO, and gender expert at the IMO and UN ESCAP.
She talks about the women who showed her what was possible, walking into rooms where she did not belong and staying anyway, building WISTA India from the ground up, launching Maritime SheEO across 77 countries, advising the Norwegian Prime Minister, the stories of women seafarers that keep her going, and why gender equality and decarbonisation are the same conversation.
