  • The opportunities and role of women in technology are no longer limited to the traditional paths of science, technology, engineering or mathematics. The world of technology is changing drastically, it is at the core of every business today. We need to expand our horizons, diversify in educational background, work experiences and gender to bring in new ideas and to think differently to drive innovation at the core. Who can be a Woman in Tech? Join me in knowing my life experiences in my journey through the world of technology.

  • HR is one of the most important corporate function which manages the entire lifecycle of an employee within an organization.

  • Recalibrating for gender balance on the tech landscape refers to addressing the under-representation of women in technology-related roles, including in software engineering, data science, and other technical fields. To recalibrate for gender balance, organizations are taking proactive steps to identify the barriers that prevent women from entering and advancing in these fields. This may include initiatives like increasing the representation of women in technical & leadership roles through targeted recruitment and mentoring programs, addressing unconscious bias and discrimination in the workplace, creating a more inclusive workplace culture, providing training and development opportunities that help women to build the skills and experience necessary to succeed, and most importantly, advocating for policies and practices that support work-life balance, such as flexible scheduling and parental leave.

  • Innovation is the process of creating something new or improving existing products, services, or processes. It is crucial for any company that wants to stay competitive and succeed in today's fast-paced and constantly evolving business environment. How companies collapse due to lack of Innovation Companies that fail to innovate often fall behind their competitors and eventually collapse. Take the example of Kodak, a company that dominated the photography industry for decades. Kodak had a virtual monopoly on the film market, but it failed to innovate and embrace the digital age. It was slow to adapt to changing consumer preferences and the advent of digital cameras, and as a result, it lost its market share and filed for bankruptcy in 2012. OR the example could be the ‘Blackberry’- which indeed failed to stay ahead in the market and lost in the competition due to lack of innovation. What is the Approach Companies should follow to inculcate innovation as a key strategy? Innovation is not just about coming up with new ideas; it also requires out-of-the-box thinking. It is about challenging assumptions, taking risks, and being open to new and unconventional approaches. To foster innovation in a company, it is important to build a culture that encourages experimentation and rewards creativity. Is Innovation difficult? Being a constant learner, staying updated for the customer or market needs. Trying to build a perspective on the business strategy and products. With the above in mind, when we try to build a solution for the sustainable tomorrow, you have the Innovation as a by-product. What is the need of the hour to build that? Building a perspective and an innovative mindset is a crucial step in fostering innovation. It involves looking at problems from different angles and exploring new and unconventional solutions. This can be done by encouraging employees to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and experiment with new ideas. Conclusion: In conclusion, innovation is essential for the sustained success of any company. Failure to innovate can lead to the downfall of even the most successful companies. To build an innovative company culture, it is important to encourage out-of-the-box thinking, reward creativity, and foster an innovative mindset among employees. Thank you.

  • Today organizations need to enhance their speed of decision making and various leads across business like IT, Marketing, Operations, Technology etc. need baseline data. From customer facing teams to business functions, a company always requires a comprehensive view of all correlating data assets for a given scenario, here comes the need of semantic layer which maps business data into familiar business terms to offer a unified, consolidated view of data across the organization. A robust semantic layer delivers data insights discovery and usability across the whole enterprise, with each business user empowered to use the terminology and tools that are specific to their role. It is a solution for end-users who are not data experts but need an easy and quick way to make data informed decisions. In this session we will cover how the semantic layer bridges the gaps amongst data folks in an organization, by helping the central data team in defining common models and definitions while the domain experts own and define their business process models, eventually empowering the organizational models of analytics governance.

Employers who embrace diversity and inclusion can reap many benefits. For example, a diverse workforce can bring a range of unique perspectives and ideas, which can lead to increased innovation, creativity, and problem-solving. Additionally, inclusive workplaces can foster a sense of belonging and promote higher levels of employee engagement, productivity, and job satisfaction.

  • Often, the D2C tech products are built for a pilot user base and basis early success (early adopter behaviour) the product is subsequently expected to rapidly scale to a large and often diverse market (imagine – if the market is as diverse as India). Although core needs of the product remain the same even as they scale (‘I want to pay’, ‘I want to get entertained’), diversity plays a huge role in the actual product adoption & usage. Factors that drive growth are embedded in the following questions within minds of the end user – ‘How well do I know this product?’, ‘When & How will I use it’, ‘Am I the decision maker for using this product?’ , 'Does it match my ethos?' etc …. These questions are rooted in the user base diversity attributes (for e.g. age, gender, locality, income and disability etc.) Effective customer experience analytics plays a vital role in unlocking the power of data to develop deep understanding of the needs of a diverse user base. The session will help in understanding the basics of what CX Analytics is and via use cases understand how effective CX analytics working with agile product & tech teams can address needs of diverse user base and help it to scale.
