AnitaB.Org India Pune Chapter
Pune community Chapter was launched with much enthusiasm and fanfare on 29th July 2016, initiated by volunteers from renowned IT companies. The mission was simple. It was fired by the zeal to build a dynamic community for professional STEM women in the City of Peshwas and create a platform where they could network and build a thriving ecosystem. This marked the start of a seven-year journey that gained momentum with each passing year, thanks to a well-planned schedule of events held at regular intervals. The Pune chapter has been one of the most active local chapters that succeeded in:
• Creating a space for women at all levels to network professionally.
• Establishing a supportive environment that promotes professional advancement.
• Facilitating a nurturing environment for informal mentorship.
