International Women S Day: International Women’s Day: What these role models have to say – Times of India
Every March 8, the world celebrates International Women’s Day. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, here are some quotable quotes from women leaders:
Preethi Srinivasan, Director of Innovation, Druva
“The Software as a Service (SaaS) industry provides me excellent opportunities to innovate rapidly and get these innovations in the hands of our customers quickly. Furthermore, SaaS provides the levers to harness the power of data using state-of-the-art technologies such as Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data Analytics, etc., to bring the value of data to our customers. SaaS is an effective business model that helps scale the business fast alongside recurring revenue. SaaS provides fast lane access to grow one’s career in technology, product, and business. We need more women in SaaS.”
Priya Kanduri, CTO and Senior Vice President, Infrastructure Management & Cyber Security services, Happiest Minds Technologies
“There has never been better time than now for women to be in IT & tech in India. Ratios of women employed in the IT industry in India have risen constantly over the past 20 years. Women represent 50% of the graduates in STEM field now while they make up over 30% of IT workforce in India. Western world is in total contrast with this, where women representation in tech fields is far less & declining. Indian Tech firms are encouraging women empowerment and introducing numerous women friendly policies to promote workplace diversity & women leadership.”
Vasanthi Ramesh, VP of Engineering for Manageability and Data Protection, NetApp India
“Across the proverbial corporate ladder, higher rungs are seeing an increased representation from women leaders. But only 7.4% of Fortune 500 companies are led by women. Clearly, there is a long way to go. There are two plausible reasons for this underrepresentation – first, lack of confidence as women tend to avoid speaking about their accomplishments and second, failure to acknowledge that rewards and responsibilities go hand-in-hand. It is important to build and nurture relationships with peers and industry leaders through multiple channels. A three-pronged strategy of networking, communication, and mentorship will play a key role in achieving this. Today in a largely hybrid world, tools that enable proactive networking and communication can be leveraged for impactful relationships and conversations. It is also crucial to develop and further the culture of mentorship to encourage and support women in upskilling themselves. Through this, women across sectors can learn, grow, and give back to the industries they are a part of. As corporate India looks towards improving women representation in the tech sector, creating a non-prejudiced, unbiased work environment is a good start. The next step for organisations is implementing robust policy recognitions. It is through collaboration and concerted efforts that women will get better opportunities to thrive and go on to represent corporate India at a global level.”
