Women and Communities A super power
summary
Women Techmakers runs 35 chapters across India with 17,000 members and a 2018 study finds 34% of the tech workforce are women but only 20% reach senior roles and executive boards sit in the single digits; just 17% participate in communities. Community activities include workshops on GitHub, chatbot building and unconscious bias, mentoring that leads to job offers and public-speaking growth, and coalition events like DevFest West India (Oct 16–18) where 50 communities run hands-on sessions across machine learning, cloud, mobile, Flutter and web.
