Dr Nikunj Tijoriwala Scholarship
Supporting women scholars to lead in technology, innovation, and research.Supported by Paromita and Samir Mehta.
Overview
The scholarship supports women scholars across Plaksha's engineering programmes, from Data Science and AI to Robotics and Autonomous Systems. Recipients have gone on to co-found AI ventures, join global consulting firms, and secure engineering roles with international compensation. This aid reflects a specific assessment: women in STEM are not a diversity priority to be addressed at the margins of the technology sector. They represent a competitive imperative `that India cannot afford to neglect.
Founder's Message
Our endeavour is to assist young women who have already decided they will attempt to overcome barriers and prove their talents. The scholarship does not provide them that determination. It gives women from all walks of life, the room to apply it.
