We had the opportunity to visit the Apple Developer Centre in Bengaluru on 27 March, as part of their Womenโs Day celebrations, to speak about Marupadi.
Rajendran Dandapani, President of Zoho Schools, spoke about the thinking behind Marupadi and the need to create real, accessible pathways for to return to tech after a career break.
The conversation continued with Rebecca Khanna, Head of Marupadi, and Sinduja Suresh, our alumna, who engaged with the audience and answered questions. It was encouraging to see the amount of interest and candid sharing in the room.
Every time we share these journeys, it reinforces why Marupadi matters. The stories, the struggles, and the quiet confidence of women finding their way back to work stay on long after the conversation is over.
Our heartfelt thanks to Team Apple (Sandhya Kundapur, Mukund Srinivasan, Ashok Prabhu, Karthik Sarve) for providing us with the space and opportunity to be part of this conversation.
