Sangeeta Gupta unveiled empowering memoir ‘Sigma Woman’ in the capital

Acclaimed bureaucrat, poet, artist, and filmmaker Sangeeta Gupta unveiled her compelling memoir Sigma Woman on Monday, April 14th, 2025, at the Civil Services Officers’ Institute (CSOI), Vinay Marg, New Delhi. The highly anticipated book launch was accompanied by a special showcase of her internationally travelled textile art exhibition, Adiyogi Shiv: A Journey in Cosmic Indigo which will be open for visitors to appreciate until April 20, 2025.

The event was a distinguished gathering of luminaries from the fields of literature, arts, and public service. The evening was graced by eminent Hindi author Mridula Garg, Kathak legend Shovana Narayan, and senior diplomat and former ICCR Director General Amrendra Khatua as chief guests – each of whom embodies the themes of grace, individuality, and fearless self-expression that resonate throughout Gupta’s memoir.

Spanning 350 pages and nearly eight years of reflective writing, Sigma Woman is a stirring personal narrative that speaks directly to adults, especially women and youth who are navigating their own complex journeys of ambition, identity, and resilience. Rooted in the genre of memoir, the book explores what it truly means to be a ‘Sigma’ personality – someone who is nonconformist, self-reliant, and unapologetically true to themselves.
