INITIATIVES & IMPACT
Mumbai Chapter launched on 30 June 2020 with participating organizations is spearheading conversations about how
to make diversity not just a good to have talking point but a business agenda and address the issues of having
more women take up STEM and also to reduce attrition or drop-outs for women at the mid and the senior level.
