BENGALURU: Global leaders in the tech space are observing their Indian counterparts, noting a strong desire for transformation and a hunger for growth.
Speaking at the GHCI 24 gathering, which included industry thought leaders from across the gender spectrum in India, Brenda Darden Wilkerson, a board member of P33 Chicago (a non-profit that drives inclusive growth for Chicago's tech sector) and President and CEO of AnitaB.org, said, "The first thing that made me fall in love when I was here was the authentic, honest desire in the community to find out, what else can I do? Who else can I be? Where else can I go? When you're hungry, it's going to find you. The things that are impossible will become possible."
Bo Young Lee, President of the AnitaB.org advisory and former Chief Diversity Equity and Inclusion Officer at Uber, said, "What's really unique about the community here in India is that you've got fire. Like, you could burn down the whole entire city, you know, and you've got so much. You have that desire for transformation. I see it in every single one of you. I see the opportunity that is not yet realised. And you're like, you want to become the thing. You know, it's just there. And it's like, that is what's so special about India. And I wish I could just transport some of that and just, like, bottle it and, like, take it back."
