Session: Interweaving Design, Tech & Social Impact.
The Intersection of Ambition, Social Impact & Technology - developing a path for people to use technology, arts & culture for the public good. How will this play out in the post COVID world? Are women upskilled and ready for Post Covid lifestyles and jobs? Will work from home finally level the playing field?Bio: Divya Hegde

She designed and developed TIP Sessions, Coastal Edit an NGO that focuses on climate change, civic awareness, culture, and civic action.
A two-pronged solution approach to a community engagement platform: TIP Sessions and Baeru. Both platforms join together to create a hybrid model that
focuses on climate action, civic awareness, and sustainable consumption and livelihoods. TIP Sessions is a community intervention program that addresses
climate action and sustainability. Baeru takes off from where TIP Sessions builds connections, through the production of handmade lifestyle products with locally
sourced ingredients and recycling material segregated from TIP Sessions’ waste management centers. Through Baeru and TIP Sessions, we’re creating a
circular economy and creating employment for rural women.
