We envision a future where every woman and girl, irrespective of socio-economic status or disability, perceives a technologically affluent path, distinctly outlining their prosperous future.

TECHDIVA MODEL

A Proven Strategy

The TechDiva Model carves a dedicated path for women in tech, with special emphasis on those from low-income and disability backgrounds. Starting with the All Girls Hackathon, we light the spark of curiosity. Through the TechDiva SkillHub, this spark is cultivated into skills, and with TechDiva Stipend & TechShare, we ensure no financial or resource challenge dims this light.

Our mission: transition women from tech enthusiasts to leaders.

Phase 2: Mentoring Future Leaders

With the TechDiva SkillHub, emerging talents pair with experts, nurturing and refining their tech interests and preparing them for leadership roles.

Phase 3: Supporting their Journey

TechDiva Stipend & TechDiva TechShare come into play to ensure that no financial or resource constraint hinders these budding leaders, keeping their tech journey unhindered.

Pioneering Paths in Tech Empowerment

In a transformative journey, 500 girls, spanning high school to college students and those from non-CS backgrounds in Chennai, stepped into the enthralling world of technology with TechDiva.

Their progression from learning coding basics to actively participating in tech projects has been nothing short of inspiring.

The impact extends beyond their individual achievements - it’s a ripple effect, where learning and empowerment cascade from one cohort to the next, manifesting a cycle of mentorship and continued growth.
