Pema YK Loyi, an entrepreneur from Arunachal Pradesh, has been appointed head of Women in FADA, marking the first time a woman from the Northeast holds the post.
Pema YK Loyi, a businesswoman hailing from Arunachal Pradesh, has been named the new head of Women in FADA, the women’s wing of the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations. The appointment was announced by FADA officials earlier this week.
Loyi’s elevation is notable as she becomes the first woman from India’s Northeast region to lead the organization’s women‑focused arm. The move is being viewed as a step toward greater regional representation in a sector traditionally dominated by southern and western states.
An entrepreneur with experience in the automobile and related services sector, Loyi has built a reputation for promoting local talent and encouraging women’s participation in trade and commerce. Her leadership is expected to strengthen outreach programs and mentorship initiatives for female dealers across the country.
Industry observers say that her appointment could inspire more women from under‑represented regions to pursue leadership roles in automotive trade bodies, potentially reshaping the demographic profile of the sector’s decision‑makers.
