This is The EcosySTEM.

Here, girls and women are powered by critical thinking, encouraged by logic, and supported by an ecosystem to break gender stereotypes in thought and action. They use their skills and apply their mind to solve challenges real to them. Here, they demonstrate their potential by creating solutions to make their lives and the world better. Their voice determines their course of action and charts the way forward.

As the future of work and careers increasingly moves towards the STEM domain, girls confidently claim their space in the classroom, the boardroom and their communities - as they learn, grow and work with STEM.

Stories of Change.

We are working towards building a world where 50% of women in India won’t have to drop out of junior and mid-level positions in organised sectors.

The EcosySTEM aims to build an equal world by challenging gender-biased perspectives.

We are working towards building a world where 50% of women in India won't have to drop out of junior and mid-level positions in organised sectors.

We are creating a world where more than the current mere 14 percent women will be able and encouraged to pursue STEM careers

We are advancing digital skills for women and working towards creating a world where women don’t have to take 12 years to take over leadership roles in Tech.

We are turning the page on a new reality where more and more women are part of path-breaking research and innovation - bridging the wide gender gap that exists in the space.
