Google's Developer Group Launches Women Techmakers Programme
Tech giant Google's Developer Group today joined hands with Startup Village to launch 'Women Techmakers' (WTM), a global programme and brand for women in technology.

The programme, inaugurated by MLAs Hibi Eden, K S Sabarinath and Shafi Parambil, aims at building a platform for young women entrepreneurs where they can connect, be inspired and encourage each other.

Sabarinath, who made a presentation on 'Technology for Social Development', said a wide gap exists between people who use technology and who do not.

"We should ensure that the development in technology percolates evenly to all people and they reap benefit out of it. There should be a 'technology swaraj'," he said.

Concurring with him, Shafi Parambil said entrepreneurship is all about bringing ideas to reality.

Hibi Eden said women should come out of their shell and change their mindsets in order to be part of the booming technology ecosystem.
