NASSCOM 10000 Startups WomenTechShip Program

From receiving less than 2 per cent applications from women founders in the first year to having more than 10 per cent of the total applications in 2016, the NASSCOM 10,000 Startups program has seen a great rise in the number of women taking up tech entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship has gone mainstream; spreading to every corner of the country and so has the aspirations of Indian women who are leaving no stone unturned to achieve their aspirations and goals to build global startups from India.

In our real effort to identify these women leaders, NASSCOM 10,000 startups conducted events, workshop and summits every year to recognize and showcase women achievers across India. Our goal is to support the community of women currently working in technology and to help pave the way for those who aspire to walk the same path.

At a higher level, we envision the Women Entrepreneur Program as a series of large and small events that inspire, educate and connect women in the technology industry. If you want to join hands with us please share your details so we can keep you posted on our future events.
