Women Tech it at Plaksha

Conventionally, women lack access to academic opportunities , family support, role models, financial aid and an inclusive social environment to enter and thrive in cutting-edge technology fields.

Here’s how the Technology Leaders Program is attempting to create a level playing field.

Unique and multipronged approach
to bridge the gap

• Enabling transformation by helping women startup, transition into deep tech roles, and lead from the front with confidence as Data Scientists, Product Managers, Machine Learning Engineers and more.

• Generous Scholarships including the A. Lalitha Scholarship for women in STEM, plus need and merit-based scholarships empower women to pursue higher education without dipping into savings.

• 1-0-1 mentorship by women role models in tech and business who guide students before the TLP interview, during the program, at the time of campus interviews and beyond the program - through their professional journeys. They ensure the personal and professional well-being of the mentees. Women mentors help women students navigate professional and personal challenges and encourage them to grab opportunities in technology.

• Safe Campus with zero tolerance for ragging, no access women’s hostel wing, hotline to members of women staff and security, and other physical infrastructure to ensure that the students enjoy a pleasant stay on campus - with no restriction on personal freedom and expression.
