"I started this community because I attended a Women Who Code event in Mumbai back in 2017 and out of 100 people at the event there were only 4 women who code. I knew there were more of us and it was important to create a space which reflected that. This community has helped me grow a lot over the years."
We're always looking for passionate individuals who want to make a difference in the tech community.
