'Give what you know, gain who you become'

Last year, we explored allyship and mentoring. This year builds on that foundation. It’s about moving from support to active contribution, sharing what we know to create a ripple effect of progress.

‘Give what you know, gain who you become’ reflects this year’s IWD theme of ‘Give to Gain’. It centers on sharing knowledge to build practical toolkits and create space for everyone to grow. The focus is on turning ideas into something tangible, not just theoretical.

One of the themes that surfaced repeatedly was that experience is most valuable when it’s passed on, which helps us work smarter, not harder. With shared accountability and continued mentoring, the momentum carries forward into our future.

The event brought together staff, community leaders, and partners for focused sessions to build actionable skills.

• Discussion circles helped attendees explore ways to improve efficiency and free time for mentoring or sponsorship.

• A fireside chat with senior leaders addressed real-world leadership behaviors, which are key to creating opportunity, capability, and long-term growth.

• The keynote with Derin Adetosoye was about seizing opportunity and encouraged attendees to turn insights into commitments.

Participants left with practical tools to work smarter, support one another, and apply the lessons immediately in their day-to-day environments.

Creating space for meaningful career conversations

At Arm, we believe careers are often shaped by the conversations you have and the perspectives you encounter along the way. That’s why this year, in addition to the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team event, we created the initiative ‘Power Chats Live!’, designed to connect women across Arm with senior leaders for focused career conversations.

Be inspired by Akshita’s story

This year, we put the spotlight on Akshita, who proves that sport builds more than skills – it builds community.

As a senior engineer and captain of Arm’s women’s football team in Bangalore, she uses the annual tournament to bring people together, ease stress, and strengthen team spirit. Her resilience through multiple injuries shows what determination truly looks like.

Through our International Women’s Day initiatives, her story has the potential to empower others across our global organization and highlights the role leadership plays in everything we do.
