5 Successful Women In Technology From India

Vanitha Narayanan, MD, IBM India

5 Successful Women In Technology From India

Neelam Dhawan, MD, HP India

Neelam Dhawan, MD, HP India

This 55-year old executive is a perfect example of thinking out-of-the-box.  For instance, at a time, when PCs were not advertised on hoardings, Dhawan in 1986 launched the first affordable PC called the HCL BusyBee. Not only did she launch it, she also went a step further by advertising the product (read PCs) on hoardings and in newspapers.

 

Next such bold step was taken in the 1990s, when she set up India’s first network channel for Tier-II towns, to sell IBM machines. This was followed by her joining HP in 1999. She is credited for getting HP its first two outsourcing contracts in 2003, at a time when the BPO industry was blooming at its best. She later moved to Microsoft India, and once again returned to HP in 2008 as its India head.

Raji Arasu started her career at a time when computer engineering didn’t have many women. But this didn’t deter her from pursuing her dreams. She started her career in the field of software development, in the US, in the early 1990s. She led technology teams with a specialization in online commerce and payments in several companies including Oracle. Arasu’s expertise helped her become the Vice President of engineering for trading with eBay. She has been credited for tackling problems which involved scalability, traffic and payments for the website. Later, she went on to become VP and CTO of StubHub, a subsidiary of eBay. But apart from being an industry crackerjack, Arasu is also an activist and passionately works for women in the tech space.
