Women in Voice India — WiVIN!
Last week, we had the official kick-off of Women in Voice India chapter and we are all super pumped to officially get the ball rolling! WiVIN is led by 5 women coming from different backgrounds to help take the voice community in India to new heights. But before I give you an introduction to our team, let me take some moment to talk about WiV Global.
What is WiV?
Women in Voice is an initiative to celebrate, amplify and empower women in the voice tech industry. It is an international organisation to support and help women get the right resources to learn, share and build a career in voice tech.
It consists of 17 local chapters from countries all over the world, including Seatle, New York, Germany, Spain, etc., and now, we have finally launched in India too! Please find your local WiV chapter here to connect with your respective leaders.
What does it do: The local chapters independently conduct various events including workshops, lectures, fireside chats and meet-ups, etc., that are full of focused conversations around different voice technologies, demos, show-cases, keynotes etc.. In short, local chapters try to build an active community of voice-tech enthusiasts and professionals, spearheaded by women who are already working in voice, or are pivoting towards it.
