As a woman in tech myself, I believe what Navya and Samyak are building is an extremely critical part of democratising skills and ensuring more bright young women get the opportunity to meet their potential. We too are passionate about accelerating potential across communities of women across India.” 

Adding to this in a joint statement, Navya Naveli Nanda and Samyak Chakrabarty shared, “21st century workplace skills are a platform for women to lead in the new world of work.
