Women in tech industry in India

After an year of starting Women in Free Software and Culture in India, I created a new group named Women in Tech Industry in India on Facebook. The trigger point was GHC India and Adacamp Bangalore last year.

I had thought of creating a platform for women working in the IT industry in India to network with each other when I started WFS-India. But that group was purely aimed at encouraging more women to start using and contributing to FLOSS. Attending both GHC and Adacamp made me convinced how important it is for women in tech to connect with and motivate each other.

Articles like this are proofs that we need such groups. If you happen to read this post and are a person who identifies as a woman please feel free to join the group if you are on the Facebook.
