Girls in Tech
(GIT) a global non-profit organization focused on the engagement, education and
empowerment of women in technology and entrepreneurship launched its India
Chapter in Hyderabad.
Founded in
2007, Girls in Tech was born out of the need to provide a platform for women to
cultivate ideas, learn new skills, and advance their careers in STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. GIT is headquartered in San
Francisco, CA (Silicon Valley).
The vision of
Girls in Tech India is to support and raise the visibility of women in STEM,
entrepreneurship and innovation. Women and girls who join GIT, and who attend
GIT events will find a warm supporting network of like-minded colleagues and
friends sharing similar interests.
In his
remarks as Chief Guest, Consul General Michael Mullins commented, “Science and
technology partnerships that the United States forms with other countries
addresses critical issues that concerns the whole world. Cooperation in science
and technology can foster a global environment where invention, innovation, and
industry can thrive. Science and technology cooperation strengthens our
international relationships because these disciplines are based on values that
transcend politics, languages, borders, and cultures.”
GIT has
hosted and facilitated workshops, seminars, exchange programs and hackathons
all over the world to bolster women and girls’ interest in and enthusiasm for
STEM, entrepreneurship and innovation. GIT’s newly launched Girls in Tech India
has exciting plans for upcoming programs to build a STEM-minded community here
in Hyderabad, and more broadly across India.
