It's no secret that the representation of women in It's no secret that the representation of women in STEM in India is far from what's desired. Take this fact for instance; in 2017, the female-to-male ratio across the prestigious IITs was only 9%. At this rate, it would take 250 years to see equal representation in the IITs! 
Why are the numbers so bad? What deters Indian girls from making to the IITs? Do private institutions like Ashoka University make it any easier? Our three-part series coming out this week, written by women in STEM, seeks to answer these questions and more. Stay tuned!

The global-level climate negotiations at COP26 wou The global-level climate negotiations at COP26 wound up in the second week of November, giving way to the Glasgow Climate Pact. Amidst the drama, late-night negotiations, and frenzy a few demands were met, while a few others remain unmet, especially in the realm of climate finance for adaptation. Since these international negotiations can directly impact the lives and livelihoods of people of the participating countries, some questions remain important: how did the negotiations around climate finance transpire, and how should developing countries like India prepare to make use of international finance efficiently?
