Celebrating Tech Leaders Driving Disruption & Innovation in India

Women in Tech Leadership Awards

Celebrating the importance of women in technology, the conference will recognize the achievements of leaders who have made an incredible impact in the tech community.

ABOUT THE AWARDS

The awards will recognize the most influential women technology leaders in India who have demonstrated considerable experience in leading innovation and became leaders and role models in the Indian tech industry.

2023 Nominations are now CLOSED. Leading organizations and individuals can submit nominations for the highest achievers in tech leadership and nominate people who have made powerful contributions and demonstrated expertise in driving business value. We also invite nominations from individuals who believe they have been at the forefront of disruption and have played a key role in helping use tech as a driver for growth and business value. All submissions will be assessed by our panel of editors and industry veterans and awardees will be selected after a careful review and benchmarked against the best-in-class performance standards.

One of the key highlights of the conference will be sparking a conversation on the gender imbalance that exists in the industry and discussing vital steps that can be taken to increase women participation in Tech and help them thrive in leadership roles. Driving the conversation forward will be companies that have played a pivotal role in striving for a diverse, inclusive and engaging environment for their employees, have addressed these biases to retain female talent and supported them to advance to senior roles.

The event is open to all and attendees can enjoy an evening of networking and discussions around technology and support women in the industry.
