As a part of this initiative, Google Developer Group – Ahmedabad organized an event named “Women Techmakers” last week. The event turned out to be a great success, providing knowledge, opportunities, networking and a totally new world of entrepreneurship to the women.

The event was held at The Pride Hotel, Ahmedabad on Saturday, March 22, and we are highly thankful to Mr. Paresh Mayani, the founder and organizer of Google Developers Group Ahmedabad, to make us a part of the Women Techmakers Ahmedabad Event and metioning us as the media sponser of the event.

One of the proud matters for GDG Ahmedabad is, that almost all the speakers, photographers, anchor and the attendees were women !

Starting with the keynote session by Mr Paresh Mayani, organizer, GDG Ahmedabad, it was followed by a series of motivational talks by Rama Moondra, Romin Irani, Kinnari Thaker Dave, Avani Makwana, Shital Shah, Ilaxi Patel, Nilambhari Solanki, Sneha Thakkar and Ruzan Khambhatta.

Rama mam, a perfect personality to inspire and motivate people ! She stressed upon leaving up stereotyping from one’s life and overcoming it with the inner confidence.

Romin Irani Sir, is a Google Developer Expert is 40-year young developer who believes that software can change lives. His talk on “Google Cloud Platform” opened a totally new angle for the non-tech audience over there.

The audience was impressed by the online magazine –  “KidsFreeSoul” owner cum a grandmother Ilaxi mam, the “Police” heart Ruzan mam and the first generation entrepreneur Sneha from “Thakkar Technologies”.

Avani Makwana provided an effective and useful talk on “Effective Project Management” where she focussed on risk management, quality and the design. She advised people to stop focussing on the showstoppers and rather concentrate on opportunities. “Be Yourself !”

This was followed by an interesting talk on “Apponomics” by Kinnari Dave, giving a new dimensin to the  first of the regional smart phones.

Shital Shah, a woman who has returned to India from abroad with an aim of building a vibrant and intentional tech startup ecosystem in Ahmedabad, drew the attention of audience by her effective and perfect analysis of the present scenario of the startup ecosystem in Ahmedabad.

And the event ended with the talk of Nilambhari Solanki, a student entrepreneur who runs her own library called “Book Man” with a unique concept of “You ring, me bring”.

The fun factor of the event was the surprise games by the enthusiastic GDG team.
