The Tech industry can take several steps to increase women representation

Anita Kukreja, Head - Marketing and Channel Sales IceWarp


“There is a significant lack of women representation in the technology world. Despite efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, women still face numerous challenges, including gender bias and discrimination, that limit their advancement in this field.

This lack of representation is not only a social justice issue, but it also affects the overall performance of the technology industry by limiting the range of perspectives and experiences that are brought to the table.

IceWarp is committed to creating a sustainable pipeline of talent by investing in initiatives that attract, retain, and develop women in technology. We offer mentorship, networking, and leadership development opportunities to help women build the skills and relationships needed to succeed in senior roles.

Additionally, we stay cognisant of the diversity and inclusion parameters while recruitment and promotion processes to ensure that we are creating a level playing field for all candidates.

The Tech industry can take several steps to increase women representation, including promoting workplace culture that values diversity and inclusion, providing equal pay and opportunities for growth and advancement, implementing flexible work arrangements, and investing in initiatives that attract and retain women in technology. I also believe that we need to provide young girls with the necessary education and support to pursue STEM fields and consider careers in technology.

Balancing personal and professional life can be challenging when in a leadership role like mine which also expects me to travel quite frequently, but it is critical for maintaining well-being and overall performance. To achieve balance, I prioritize self-care, set boundaries, and delegate responsibilities when necessary.

I also make sure to communicate effectively with my team, family, and friends to manage expectations and avoid over-commitment. Finally, I am intentional about using my time effectively and staying organized to ensure that I am able to meet both personal and professional commitments.”
