Globally, women remain underrepresented in STEM fields.

According to UN Women, only 28% of researchers worldwide are women, and in India, the percentage of women pursuing STEM higher education is even lower, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where access to resources and mentorship is limited.

Early exposure, guidance, and support are critical to fostering long-term representation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

GirlLytical was established to address this gap by empowering underprivileged girls with a passion for STEM, providing mentorship, training, and community support.

Since its inception, the initiative has reached over 100,000 girls across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India, creating opportunities for learning, skill development, and confidence-building in STEM subjects.

Key Program Components:

GirlLytical Bootcamps: Intensive sessions to develop analytical thinking, problem-solving, and technical skills.

Expert Seminars: Interactive discussions with female STEM professionals highlighting career pathways and real-world applications.

Curated STEM Activities: Hands-on exercises designed to reinforce learning, creativity, and innovation.

Workshops: Topic-focused workshops culminating in a showcase, where participants present projects, demonstrate applied knowledge, and cultivate leadership skills.

Impact Highlights:

100,000+ girls reached across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.

500+ female STEM mentors engaged in providing guidance and career support.

80% of participants report increased confidence in pursuing STEM subjects.

70% of participants explore new STEM career options after workshops and mentorship.

Many participants have demonstrated measurable improvements in academic engagement and problem-solving skills, with a growing number pursuing higher education in STEM fields.

By combining this hybrid model of online easy to access mentorship, and in person bootcamps, we have nurtured a a supportive community for girls, GirlLytical fosters not only technical skills but also confidence, leadership, and a sense of possibility for girls who might otherwise face systemic barriers.

Get Involved: Support GirlLytical by mentoring, contributing resources, or helping organize workshops. Together, we can build the next generation of female STEM leaders and drive gender equity in science and technology.
