New Delhi: Google India on Tuesday announced the launch of the Google for Start-ups Accelerator Women Founders programme, a cohort-based accelerator for women-led start-ups in India.
The programme will focus on issues such as access to networks, funding, hiring challenges, mentorship, and many more that female founders face due to a variety of factors, including low representation. The programme will also feature courses and support in areas like as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), cloud, UX, Android, web, product strategy and growth, as well as access to a worldwide community of women founders.
Up to 20 Indian start-ups founder or cofounded by women will be accepted into the first batch of the programme, which will support them for three months.
The programme is part of a larger effort by Google to increase the representation of women in various aspects of India’s digitally trained workforce, such as entrepreneurship, professional upskilling, and young graduates looking for a head start, with the ultimate goal of making technology universally relevant and helpful.
