Rajalakshmi Srinivasan, Director of Product Management, ManageEngine
“While I agree that the number of women in the technology world is less compared to their male counterparts, I wouldn’t call it a lack of representation. We have come a long way and technology is a great enabler that helps empower women, boost their self-confidence, and eliminate the fear of failure. In that sense, innovation and technology act as a catalyst and helps streamline gender equality. The responsibility lies with the individual as well to embrace tech with a continuous learning attitude and upskill themselves to take up challenges.
Leaders around the world are also trying to educate, mentor, and adopt democratisation. There is still a long way
to go, but I believe we are on the right track. Inclusivity and shared responsibility is
the key.
The company culture plays an important role in creating the sustainable pipeline for growth. Opportunities are wide open for anyone. At ManageEngine, we ensure that there is openness to ideas and give due credit and recognition as appropriate. We also take care to identify and nurture talent, and provide the required support, guidance, and encouragement by creating a sense of ownership that motivates individuals to accept lead roles.
Be inclusive. Avoid being judgmental and award jobs based on merit, never on gender. Create an environment where both men and women feel confident accepting challenges and aren’t afraid to fail. Just like men, women need proper guidance from the leadership staff to advance their careers.”
