Industrial Automation celebrates women achievers in the Indian industry on the occasion of International Women’s Day.

The theme for International Women’s Day, March 08, 2025 is ‘For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment’.

This year’s theme calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation—youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalysts for lasting change.

We at Industrial Automation have been celebrating the success of women in executive roles in the world of business and technology for 8 years now. During this period we have profiled scores of women, highlighting their achievements and celebrating their success. As a country, we have had women gracing the top political offices – that of the Prime Minister and the President. Countless women have also figured in our higher judiciary and many more have been at the helm of our PSUs and other corporate positions.

The Women in Tech 2025 celebrates the remarkable achievements of women who are redefining the landscape of innovation, leadership, and impact in technology-driven industries. These awards recognise and honour women excelling across diverse domains, including automation, engineering, research, cybersecurity, education, entrepreneurship, and business leadership.
