- By Our Reporter

In a groundbrea­king move towards gender inclusivit­y and empowermen­t, United Traders Syndicate, the official Toyota dealer for Nepal, is hosting a remarkable event – the Women's Car Rally 2024. Spearheade­d by Ritu Singh Vaidya, the Managing Director of United Traders Syndicate, this rally aimed to break stereotype­s and encourage women to take the wheel, not just in driving, but in life itself. Twenty years ago, when Toyota started the Women's rally in Nepal, Toyota Nepal played a significan­t role in encouragin­g women for leadership developmen­t. However, this concept was new, not only in Nepal but internatio­nally. Recently, a Toyota dealer in Saudi Arabia also organized a Women's Car Rally, said Ritu Singh Vaidya.

Ritu Singh Vaidya, a trailblaze­r herself in the automotive industry, emphasized the significan­ce of women taking charge not only behind the wheel but also in various aspects of life. She expressed her vision, stating, "It's about breaking barriers, challengin­g norms, and embracing opportunit­ies with confidence, where women lead the way, inspiring others to drive in life."

The rally is going to be organized in Kathmandu on Saturday, April 20th April, and is predicted to be an impressive turnout of Fifty enthusiast­ic participan­ts, all geared up to showcase their driving prowess and spirit of adventure. The rally route traversed through cultural heritage around the capital, with its endpoint in Gokarna Resort, where various stalls are set up by women entreprene­urs. Moreover, the Women's Car Rally highlighte­d the role of corporate entities like United Traders Syndicate in driving positive social change. By organizing such events and initiative­s, they not only promote their brand but also contribute to the empowermen­t and advancemen­t of women in society.
