The tech industry continues to lag in instilling equality in the workplace. Only 37% of tech startups have at least one woman on the board of directors, and women hold only about 25% of jobs in tech (source).

MoEngage believes that a diverse and inclusive workforce inspires innovation, which leads to building great products. We achieve this by embedding diversity and inclusion into our company policies and culture. Together, let’s raise awareness against gender bias, celebrate women’s achievements in tech, and drive equality in the workplace.
