It opens up so many windows of opportunities and also inspires others to do more,” said Dr. Sheth. “My world completely changed after I was honored as Woman of the Year in 2011. We all look up to those who live amongst us and excel in their chosen line of work and in following their passion. I am thrilled that we are doing this in collaboration with INDIA New England News, which has set a gold standard for Woman of the Year award for 14 years.”
