Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Through Technology & Innovation
With a strong background in science, I have always been passionate about technology and its profound impact on the world. Ensuring access to technology and infrastructure is essential for business success. Initiatives like Digital India aim to bridge the digital divide, enabling women entrepreneurs to benefit from affordable technology and infrastructure. This access helps them expand into new markets, optimize operations, and drive innovation.
It also focuses on providing technological access to all, particularly women entrepreneurs, including those in remote areas. Encouraging women to pursue STEM education and careers is crucial for fostering tech-driven enterprises. Both government and private sector initiatives are working toward increasing female participation in these fields.
Beyond Agriculture with Drones & AI
As a young tech entrepreneur, I am deeply passionate about scientific advancements and technological innovation. Through drones, AI, IoT, GIS-based land surveys, and enhanced logistics data processing, I aim to bridge this gap and drive a new technological revolution in India.
Agriculture is just the beginning—we are already exploring multiple fields through continuous R&D and innovation. By developing an ecosystem where drones go beyond farming into disaster management, land mapping, and industrial logistics, we are creating a multi-dimensional impact.
Message for Women of India
"To succeed in business, women need perseverance—the ability to step out of their comfort zones while maintaining work-life balance. Growth should never come at the cost of personal well-being, but it is essential to push boundaries, take risks, and lead boldly. Just as Rani Lakshmibai entered the battlefield and fought fearlessly for her people, today’s women must step into STEM, business, and technology and lead the way for future generations. Their courage, innovation, and determination will define India’s next era of progress."
