first conversation in the series with HBS Professor Geoffrey G. Jones, Isidor Straus Professor of Business History & Faculty Chair of the Business History Initiative, on the topic ‘Beauty : Limiting or Liberating’. For the same, the institution has invited Sonam Kapoor, who is known to be a fashionista, to join the esteemed panel.

Sonam Kapoor will share insights and participate in the interesting debate that promises to be an eye-opener. The National Award winning actress, who have raised the bar for Indian fashion, will talk about the pitfalls and challenges associated with both notions of beauty and the aspiration to look "beautiful”.

One of the main reasons why the actress joined the panel was because of her attempts on social media where she has condemned body shaming and other such myths. She posted an open letter last year, titled “I Didn’t Wake Up Like This” busting the various stereotypes related to flawlessness. The star has also been very vocal about embracing individual beauty.

Talking about this, Sonam Kapoor said, "I look forward to joining the conversation conducted by the HBS .I think the subject is very relevant to our time."
