We have compiled this special publication/compendium as the Content and Marketing partner of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to showcase the success stories and achievements of 125 women luminaries who have made a significant mark in the arena of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). These women include academicians, researchers, policymakers, business strategists, tech leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators and pioneers with technology and skills necessary for a better future. This edition will pave the way in inspiring and guiding next-gen women who wish to make a career in STEM and want to be in leadership roles.

In the wake of India celebrating ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ at India@75, this compendium was launched at the CII Women in STEM Summit held in July 2022 by Prof. Ajay Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India.
