Lean In WiTI Launch
About the Event
“The work-life balance is a harsh reality for so many women, who are forced every day to make impossible choices. Do they take their kids to the doctor…and risk getting fired? Do they work weekends so they can afford to send their kids to better childcare…even though it means even less time with their families? Do they take another shift at work, so they can pay for piano lessons for their kids…even though it means they have to stop volunteering for the PTA? It just shouldn’t be this difficult to raise healthy families.” — Michelle Obama
Vidya Nagaraj will be talking about Work Life Integration followed by Shobha Rani.J who will be introducing about Blockchain in the tech talk.
