The Moynihan Institute's South Asia Center presents \;Ingrid Erickson\, associate professor in the School of Info rmation Studies at Syracuse University.

Bengaluru is known as the Indian Silicon Valley and boasts an entrepreneurial fever that is producin g unicorn tech companies with increasing global import. Unlike the United States\, India is a country that champions the development of STEM (scienc e/technology/engineering/math) skills in its children early in their educa tional development. Girls as well as boys are encouraged to be computer sc ientists and engineers\, with little sense that these professions are more aligned cognitively or socially to either gender. \;

Yet\, despite these cultural supports\, India has produced ver y few female tech entrepreneurs or tech leaders to date. This research see ks to explore the social construction of tech entrepreneurship in India\, specifically how this construction is held together by a variety of cultur al and organizational norms and practices and how this reality translates to the on-the-ground experiences of Indian female entrepreneurs\, both in India as well as in other areas of the world. \;
