Google India today announced the winners of the first ‘Google India Women in Engineering Award’ recognizing and rewarding deserving women students in Computer Science and related majors, to inspire them to become active participants and leaders in creating technology.
This program is in tune with Google’s aspiration to be an organization that reflects the globally diverse audience that our search engine and tools serve.
