Started in 2012 by former Vice President of Google, Megan Smith, Women Techmakers is now a worldwide program led by women leaders who are passionate about empowering other women in technology. Today there are over 90+ people in India, chosen as Google WTM Ambassadors, who represent companies across sectors in India. I am truly excited to be chosen as a Google WTM Ambassador. This is a superb platform for creating impact. I have always sought answers to questions such as: What problems are caused by a lack of diversity and inclusion in building tech products? How can these be addressed? How may we use technology to bridge the urban-rural divide in India? Which computing technology can create an impact at scale and how is it changing my country India and the region? Using Google WTM platform, my aim is to initiate debates on these questions, to represent my country at events, and spur deeper discussions on these topics. #diversityandinclusion #tech4good #uxcommunity #womentechmakers

I’ve always believed that increasing relatability is the way that we’ll see more women in tech. But for that to happen, there have to be more women in tech — it’s a real chicken-and-egg situation. So we decided to take action and open up a six-month program in Contentstack India. It’s called EmpowerHER. Through mentoring and upskilling, the program will equip and empower 100 young women for careers as software engineers. We can’t wait for change to happen. We have to make it happen and this is just one of many ways to do that. You can read more about the program below, but let me know if there’s any way you would like to help or get involved! #equity #culture #tech #india #techcommunity

#STEMDay comes as a needed reminder that we must continue to encourage girls and women to get into tech and provide opportunities that will help them develop skills in the space. We asked Jayashree Sundaresan, our senior director in engineering, for advice on how young women can get started and establish a successful career in tech.

Additionally, discussions revolved around potential collaborations on hosting educational events with the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training. In its commitment to empowering #women, Google has launched programs to bridge #gender gaps in the #workforce.

The program, initiated in 2022, awarded 44,500 scholarships in 2023 and has committed 45,000 new scholarships for 2024. Furthermore, through the Google #News Initiative (GNI), young journalists, including women, have been trained to address the accessibility of newsrooms and provide reporting experience.
