Dr. Sarita Ahlawat, MD and Co-founder of BotLab Dynamics, articulated the current underrepresentation of women, noting that less than 10% of engineers in her 250-person team are female, a figure mirrored in wider tech and leadership speaking engagements.

She highlighted how this disparity impacts product development, citing the Apple Watch's initial oversight of female users. Dr. Ahlawat advocated for a 50-50 representation to foster diversity that drives innovation, creates better products, and stimulates economic growth. The summit reaffirmed that women's leadership is a cornerstone for a transformative and equitable future.
