WOMEN IN TECH WEBINAR BY SHE@SICCI
On 26th October 2020, SICCI was proud to host the Women in Tech Webinar – “Gender, Humanity & Collaboration”, which is the first in a series of webinars celebrating women and their achievements in various fields. This webinar was an initiative of SHE@SICCI, which stands for the “Sisterhood of Entrepreneurs”. SHE@SICCI is chaired by Ms Shobha Tsering Bhalla, Board of Directors, SICCI. The chambers was privileged to have a panel comprising four esteemed women in the technology industry, namely Ms Rama Sridhar, Executive Vice President, Mastercard, Dr Aishwarya Bandla, Translational Scientist, The N.1 Institute for Health, NUS, Ms Suganthi Shivkumar, Former Managing Director, Qlik, and Ms Neha Mehta, Founder, Femtech Partners.

The webinar covered issues such as unequal gender segregation in professional spaces, misconceptions of tech as the province of men, outdated stereotypes of women in tech, and much more. Participants felt that the panel discussion and Q&A session was insightful and inspiring.
Obviously, there was far too much ground to cover with only one session, so stay tuned for more updates on following webinars in this series as well as other webinars and events hosted by SICCI!
