Vivo KanyaGyaan: Empowering Young Women in STEM for a Brighter Future

“At vivo India, we firmly believe that talent should never be constrained by financial or societal limitations. True progress is achieved when opportunities are equitable and accessible to all. Through our initiative, vivo KanyaGyaan, we are committed to empowering young Indian women to pursue careers in STEM. It aligns with this year’s International Women’s Day theme, ‘Accelerate Action,’ reinforcing our commitment to fostering a supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

This initiative has already made a meaningful impact on the lives of over 150 young women, enabling them to overcome barriers and realize their aspirations – with over 60% coming from families earning less than ₹1 lakh annually, and 15% being raised by single parents. Notably, for 56% of them, this initiative has enabled them to become first-generation graduates.

Beyond offering merit-based scholarships, vivo KanyaGyaan provides structured mentorship, industry exposure, and skill-building opportunities to support beneficiaries in their transition to the workforce.

As a responsible brand, we recognize the power of investing in young talent—not just to shape individual careers, but to uplift entire communities. By fostering the next generation of women in STEM, we hope to create a ripple effect of empowerment, inspiring many more to follow.”- Mr. Geetaj Channana, Head of Corporate Strategy, vivo India
