Indian women play a huge role in the growth of our economy but their strong impact in the technology & defence sector deserves utmost respect: Dr. Ajay Kumar, Defence Secretary.

To celebrate the achievements of women on International women’s day, FICCI organized ‘Tech-Thought Leadership Session on Women in Tech – Accelerating innovation’ with a purpose through a user-first approach, and comprised of industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers.

Appreciating the diverse roles women have played in the development of the technology sector in India, Dr. Ajay Kumar, Defence Secretary, Government of India said, “Whether it is in Defence or IT sector, women’s impact has been very significant. I remember the growth of IT in the country. India becoming the world’s largest IT outsourcing destination would not have been possible without our women. More than one-third of the workforce in IT has been women. Even in Electronic Manufacturing, something with which I have been closely associated, the role of women has been even more significant.”
