passion for changing the world through digital experiences, we at Adobe are
taking the lead in developing product innovations to help our customers stay
ahead in today’s era of digital disruption. We take pride in working with some
of the best engineering minds across the globe to drive our innovation agenda,
and the stellar contribution of Adobe’s RnD team in India is a testament to
the kind of solid engineering talent that the country possesses. Diversity,
which fosters richer collaboration, innovation, and creativity in
workforce, is crucial for organizational success and core to Adobe’s work
culture. Over the years, we have seen more and more women technologies join our
engineering teams world over – and this trend is becoming increasingly popular
in India as well. With CodHERS 2016, we want to provide an opportunity to women
programmers and coders in India to come forth and showcase their talent, and in
the process, identify potential women technology leaders of the future.”
