On the occasion of International Women’s Day Fooza organized a virtual panel discussion with female leaders in the food tech sphere. The objective of the panel discussion was to highlight how women leaders are impacting food tech.

India has seen the emergence of a number of female leaders or women entrepreneurs over the decade in many professions. The food tech sphere is no exception. During the virtual meet, Fooza highlighted the scopes and opportunities for women in the sphere of food technology and the possible obstacles that they might face.

The programme emphasized how the enigmatic women leaders of Fooza have been key to building the emerging food tech company from the ground up.

Addressing the attendees, Director Reena Lath said, “The food tech space has seen a number of innovations from automatic roti making technology and vending machines dispensing home-cooked meals to the introduction of unique online food delivery platforms such as Fooza. The women behind them deserve applause since gone from thedays where women would be tied to the kitchen, to now where they are creating businesses– and innovation — out from the kitchens.”

Speaking on the same, Kakoli Bakshi, Head of Partner Relationsfor Fooza stated, “I am proud and delighted to be a part of Fooza.
