Since last three years I am running my own NGO named as Disaster Resilient and Research Foundation.

In my personal front my husband is working with Meccan Ericsson Advertisement Agency. It’s a number one agency in the world. I have two daughters elder one is doing Ph.

India has one of the largest numbers of women successfully completing higher education in different area but their role and representation as a key role are still low. Several areas is still perceived as a heavily male dominant field and women often face gender insensitivity at work. There should be more focus on changing perception of women at an organizational level. Hosting national hackathons at collage /University level can create opportunity and innovation. Good mentoring programmes can also encourage young women.
