to contribute to positive change through their purchases.

Beyond its empowering impact on women, the social

Live shopping events are gaining popularity, with platforms

like Instagram and Facebook incorporating live video features

for product demonstrations and real-time interactions. This

trend emphasizes the interactive and engaging nature of social

commerce, providing users with a more immersive and

personalized shopping experience.

Social commerce facilitates cross-border commerce, with

approximately 55% of consumers making international

purchases through social media platforms. This global reach

presents significant opportunities for businesses to expand

their customer base beyond borders and tap into diverse

markets.

Artificial intelligence is playing a crucial role in personalizing

the social commerce experience. AI-driven algorithms analyze

user behavior, preferences, and interactions to provide

personalized product recommendations, enhancing user

satisfaction and driving conversions.

In summary, social commerce stands not only as a powerful

force for economic empowerment but also as a catalyst for

reshaping the narrative of women's participation in the

economy. Backed by data-driven insights, it provides

opportunities for women to thrive as entrepreneurs,

community builders, and influencers.

The evolving landscape of social commerce holds immense

potential for further transformative impact. As these platforms

continue to innovate and adapt, they have the potential to

redefine how women participate in the economy on their own

terms. Social commerce is not just a transactional tool; it's a

dynamic space where women are shaping their stories,

fostering collaboration, and influencing the global business

landscape. It's a testament to the power of technology and

connectivity in creating a more inclusive and empowering

business ecosystem.

Tulika Garg Bhatia, the visionary behind SOROR: The Sisters Edit, showcased

on the Founders Page Updates. A woman of diverse talents, she is a mother,

professional, and philanthropist who identified a community void and filled it with

her passion for technology. Graduating with BSc. Statistics Honors from Delhi

University's Lady Shri Ram College for Women, she later pursued an MBA from

the Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad. Her decade-long

experience with giants like HSBC Bank & American Express India marked her

professional journey.

However, as she built a loving family, she sensed a loss of personal drive and

passion. This void fueled the birth of SOROR, an empowering platform fostering

sisterhood, understanding, and compassion among women globally. What

started as a blog has evolved into a community connecting millions of women.

She envisions SOROR as a safe space for women to be fearlessly vulnerable,

creating a habitat worth cherishing.
