The newly minted partnership between Veeam Software India and Women in Cloud (WIC) would promote gender diversity in the cloud and AI workforce ecosystem
Veeam Software India, a leading company in the data protection space, and Women in Cloud (WIC), a US-headquartered organization dedicated on educating, training and promoting women to be in the cloud and AI ecosystem, have struck a partnership to enhance gender diversity and inclusion in the field of cloud data management. Through this partnership, Veeam India and WIC will work together to promote intellectual development among women, develop influence in cloud data management, and enhance workforce capacity through micro-credentialing. As per a recent statistics, only 26 percent of computing jobs in India are held by women, and in the field of cloud data management and security, women are even more underrepresented. Veeam India and WIC are committed to changing this by creating a more inclusive and diverse ecosystem in India for cloud data management.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Veeam India to promote diversity and inclusion in the field of cloud data management,” said Chaitra Vedullapalli, President & Co-Founder of Women in Cloud. “At Women in Cloud, we believe that diversity drives innovation and that unlocking the full potential of our workforce requires creating a more inclusive and diverse ecosystem. By working together with Veeam India, we can help create a more level playing field for women and underrepresented groups in cloud data management, and drive innovation that unlocks economic access and benefits for everyone,” added Vedullapalli.
