Often women feel that they have to be of a certain kind to do well in the field of Business and Entrepreneurship', says actor Sonam Kapoor, adding that there are very capable women who have been nominated in this category. They are trying to create a woman's world as opposed to trying to enter a man's world, Kapoor says. Jury member Saurabh Srivastava, Co-Founder, Indian Angel Network and NASSCOM and Padma Shri Awardee, adds to that by saying that women have it much harder in this field. For instance, venture capitalists love men who are ambitious and aggressive, but react different to such driven women.

Actor Sonam Kapoor says the NDTV- L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Award is to honour the unsung heroes who are doing brilliant work for the upliftment of the society and deserve to be acknowledged for their amazing work. She also speaks at length about how nominees are selected for the award. "This is the fifth time that  L'Oréal is honouring Women of Worth" and the nominees are selected after immense brainstorming, she says. "The voting is public and for everyone to see, so this award is as credible as it gets", she adds.
