In association with @MakersWomenIN , we present a detailed overview of the state of women in tech entrepreneurship in India at @_TechSparks by answering 7 key questions, after analysing data for the period of Jan 2018 to June 2020.

Here's a sneak peak into what you can expect:
Positive signs 👍

Segment which needs improvement & introspection

- Wide investment diversity gap: Tech startups with female founder(s) got less than 6% of the total startup funding (Jan ’18 - June 2020)

- Surge in women tech entrepreneurs but funding remains a challenge
