NASSCOM announced the second annual 'IT Women Leadership
Summit 2007' to be held in Bangalore on December 12-13, 2007 at The Leela
Palace. This year's summit, in addition to several focused tracks will see the
first ever-corporate awards for excellence in gender inclusivity. Other
highlights at this years' summit include presentation of broad level findings
of a NASSCOM - IIMA research study on findings on women in IT in India.
The NASSCOM IT Women Leadership Summit, now in its second
year examines the drivers for gender inclusively at every level of enterprises.
Factors such as the acute talent shortage the industry faces today, the
different abilities and perspectives that women bring into their workplace, and
the cultural factors impacting women aspiring for top leadership roles, will be
discussed by thought leaders, including some of the most successful and
well-known women entrepreneurs and leaders from India and abroad. This
initiative is also being furthered by WIL-IT (Women in Leadership - IT), a
networking platform for middle level IT women for networking, sharing best
practices, mentoring and training. WIL-IT is active in Bangalore since
September 2007, with regular networking and leadership training workshops. The
Chennai network of WIL-IT was launched on 4 December, and WIL-IT Hyderabad is
slated to be launched in January 2008.
This year the Summit will highlight the policies and best practices
