Women in Tech Awards
Wequity Women in Tech Awards
Wequity Awards are the epitome of excellence and inspiration, honoring women in technology and champions of inclusivity at the workplace. The Awards, a first in India, recognizes and celebrates exceptional work done in the field of technology by women and their key enablers.
The vision of Wequity Awards is to make the women technologists and their contribution more visible and shine a light on their incredible work in taking technology and society forward. These incredible women, and their allies, create impact far beyond the confines of their field and serve as an inspiration for the young women who are starting their career in technology. We honour individuals who pay forward to shape a larger network of women and men who support a gender-neutral workplace for technologists.
The Wequity team is available to help you with any questions regarding the Wequity Women in Tech Awards.
