Singhania will be focusing on women empowerment by promoting entrepreneurship, and active industrial participation of women. She will also be working on economic development. Singhania said that the organisation has always empowered women to showcase their talents, skills across various sectors. She said that these women will motivate her to create a positive impact in their life, and the society at large.

Singhania also spoke about the under-representation of women in the workforce. “Women are making vital contributions to the nation's industrial output. However, with less than 14% women entrepreneurs in India and the country’s female workforce participation declining, we need to unlock the vastly untapped potential. FLO believes that in the wake of Atma Nirbhar Bharat and the fourth industrial revolution, it is an opportune time for us to promote enterprises and build the start-up ecosystem," she said ANI reported.

She then also added that FLO would always be committed towards providing the necessary skills, opportunities and knowledge to women.
