Encubay and inDrive have partnered to host the Women in Tech Summit in November 2024 at Google's RMZ Infinity office in Bengaluru, aimed at empowering women in technology through shared vision to transform India's venture landscape and spotlight women entrepreneurs in IT.
The summit is designed to bring together thought leaders, innovators, pioneers, and gamechangers in the technology sector, acting as a platform for women to connect, share stories, discuss challenges and explore opportunities for growth.
The event features keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, demos, and startup pitches, with insights on leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation in tech.
Notable speakers at the summit include, Shreya Bhatnagar, Principal Associate, Anthill Ventures; Archana Jahagirdar, Founding Partner, Rukam Capital; Monika Jain, Co-founder, Presto Apps; Alysha Lobo, Global Marketing Manager, Rapyuta Robotics; Isabella Ghassemi-Smith, Head of Awards, Aurora Tech; Neha Singh, Co-founder and CEOTracxn; Deeksha Ahuja, Founder, Encubay and Avneet Kohli, Founder, Encubay.
A major highlight of the event is the Aurora Tech Award, a prestigious global prize from inDrive with an impressive $30,000 prize fund for women-led IT startups with groundbreaking impact.
The platform also gives women innovators in tech startups a chance to showcase their prototypes and gain recognition on the global stage.
Women need additional support to bridge the gap in tech and entrepreneurship and build a community of women leaders, and the Women in Tech Summit aims to provide the tools and resources they need to thrive in the tech industry.
India ranks 57 out of 65 for women’s entrepreneurship globally, with only 2.16% of women actively participating in early-stage entrepreneurial activities, according to a report by Access Publications.
Less than one-third of the tech sector employees are women, according to an article by PricewaterhouseCoop.
Women entrepreneurs employ 10% of workers in India, yet women’s talent and potential continues to shine bright despite the obstacles.
