Women in tech: Simran Bagga, vice president at Omnix Engineering and Foundation Technologies

As the world slowly but steadily emerged from the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic, we, at Omnix, have witnessed rapid progress in multiple technologies – computing power, smarter devices, quantum computing, extended reality, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and 3D printing, to name a few.

Seeding in new technologies, focusing on vertical industry segments and geo expansion are among our top priorities. For example, AI is set to advance in a big way in 2023.

In another emerging trend, drones will soon be able to fly for everyone. Currently, they are used primarily by professional photographers and videographers.

However, by 2023, drones will be affordable enough for every person to own. And, thanks to improvements in aerial technology, they’ll be able to fly for hours without needing
a recharge.

As fas as a woman’s journey to attain a leadership role is concerned, it is filled with challenges. A key hurdle is being treated unequally compared to her male counterparts – women are often placed on an uneven playing field.

Recruiting more young females with a clear intent to balance gender diversity, harnessing their skill sets, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones, empowering them to drive new initiatives, and introducing recognition for high achievers are some of the factors that can contribute to the making of future tech women leaders.

By the year 2030, women can and will be critical to leveraging this revolution to benefit our global society.
