Mentors can change the course for women

Manoj Agrawal: What is your take on the number of women rising in the workforce?

Joti Balani: Over the last 2 years, there's been a big push not only to meet the diversity and inclusion parameters but a genuine effort to include women in the workforce. I am a part of an organization called fempeak.ai, which started in 2021 as a technology advisor and mentor to women. The mission of the startup is to uplift women and bring them into the higher socio-economic status fold in both business and technology.

I grew up with the Internet an ave seen the first, the second, and now part of the third generation and its benefits. Now, we are bringing more women into this new world. Opportunities around Web 3.0 and AI are in demand, in areas such as crypto, NFTs, blockchain and AI.

Also, women are looking for pathways. All the same, they understand that AI is completely different from developing web/mobile interfaces and are upskilling themselves to meet the new challenges. The technology is good and is solving a lot of problems. Compute and storage are getting cheaper, and a lot of data is now readily available. What is missing is the right conversation design.

The HR should look for a triple-E intelligence bucket - economic Intelligence, emotional intelligence and ethical intelligence - in the women workforce.

Do you think women have a better sense of design thinking?
