“I always was intrigued by data and the analytics behind it. One day I discovered the Women in Big Data India Chapter and attended the Gayatri program launch. They matched me with a great mentor- a person who wants to inspire the best in you to come out. She instilled a sense of curiosity and opportunity in every data point I see.” - Gayatri Program
“After many attempts to find insights from a wide variety of webinars, courses, and training, I realized I wanted to find a mentor. Your program is like a gift of fate. I could not have met my mentor without this program. So, dear organizers, you do wonders. Thank you.” - Mentor in Tech
“In addition to accountability, the WiBD Peer Mentoring group provided me with practical guidelines I could follow to accomplish my goal. These can probably be found online, but I benefited from being guided through them by our facilitators. Our twice-monthly meetings allowed me the opportunity to get to know other women on different paths in the data domain, and connect with them wherever in the world they were located. I even participated with several in a separate use-case project”. - Participant in Getting From Here To There Program
“I took part in the Emerging Technologists program during my career transition from business owner and researcher in sociology to data scientist. My mentor was highly attentive and supportive. She gave me an interesting external point of view and open feedback. The regular meetings were an additional motivation to structure my plans and set up deadlines for myself. I highly recommend you to take part in the program.”.
