About the Book
The coffee table book ‘Her Story – IIT Bombay Gen Zero Women’ profiles the Institute’s 30 women alumnae who have not just broken the glass ceiling and created a path for themselves but also paved the way for the next generation of women engineers to come. A book like ‘Her Story – IIT Bombay Gen Zero Women’ is timely and essential. While the world slowly takes strides toward gender equality, there is still a significant divide in many fields, including within STEM in academia.
The book was thoughtfully curated by Ms. Rashmi Bansal, who penned the inspirational stories of IITB’s women alumnae. The book illustrates the journeys taken by these women over the past few decades by having in-depth and one-on-one conversations with each of them. It documents their lives – from the successes and challenges they faced on campus to their subsequent professional and personal lives. It also explores how their educational journeys and networking experiences on campus, especially the personal connections with their hostel batch mates, enriched their lives and made them into the powerful women they are today.
IIT Bombay is extremely proud of all its illustrious alumnae celebrated during the event, and thankful to all the esteemed women dignitaries who graced the occasion and supported the ‘IIT Bombay Gen Zero Women Initiative.’
