Tether’s ‘By women, For women’
The future of the Indian fintech industry is getting into a solid shape with the support of great leaders. Diversity in the industry acts as a solid anchor and a catalyst in bringing significant innovations to life.
Tether’s ‘By women, For women’ aims at bringing together some of the inspiring women shaping the industry to share their experience with us.
Key Takeaways:
- Women should join more tech roles to break the stigma that’s been around. The active role played by women will elevate them into the tech industry.
- Women do end up facing both visible and invisible barriers along their journey. This starts right from family inheritance and pink tax to even less than only 2% of venture funding that goes to women!
- Women should break the barrier by promoting themselves and having mentors for guidance.
