Women in Machine Learning

Here's an interesting scenario: When we first read the word "tech", we imagine nerdy men sitting on their coding desks. How many of us pictured a woman instead? But this scenario is changing at a fast rate.
Women have indelibly changed the tech world which ranges from coding to robotics as well as from neurological nano-technologies to astronomical space technologies. Women have stepped into a revolutionary era and have proved their mettle, not only as great tech minds but as tech leaders and CEOs of tech giants like YouTube, IBM, Yahoo, and Facebook too!
Researches and algorithm deductions have seen an exponential increment in women involvement and contributions.
Indian women in tech have inspired a lot of young females to step into this world.
Debjani Ghosh, first woman President of NASSCOM; Roshni Nadar, CEO of HCL Corporation and many more have become role models for women in India.
Many platforms like Codechef, HackerRank, TechGig, SheCodes, WomenWhoCode have seen competitive participation by women and similarly, the field of Machine Learning is no exception.
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence have been growing at a rapid pace in recent years. Women have shown active participation in these fields and have also worked hard to take it to the next level. Some of the names include: Seema Gaur, Executive VP & Head IT, IFFCO Tokio General Insurance Company, Kyoka Nakagawa, Chief Engineer, Value Creation Department, Digital Transformation Division, Digital Solution Center, Honda R&D Co., Ltd., Japan, Harmeen Mehta, Chief Information Officer & Head Cloud and Security Business, Bharti Airtel and Jennifer Edgin, CTO, Deputy Commandant Information, U.S.
In this fast-evolving tech world, women have started to fill the gender gap and are already breaking stereotypes, which lets us imagine the day when women will rule the tech industry too!
And that day is not far!

We women have come so far in terms of right and equality so why not just own it and each of us become the strong independent woman that we all are and show the world our capabilities and uniqueness.
Many women have already proved themselves by enduring criticism posed by this world.
One such example is Kumud Srinivasan.
