Gulf Times' former employee Krishnan C K's daughter Nisha Krishnan, an Indian television journalist and founder of channeliam.com, has been awarded a US Department of State grant for empowering women tech initiatives.
The grant is a result of Nisha's participation in the Alumni Thematic International Exchange Seminar (TIES), held in Almaty, Kazakhstan in 2019. The project involves a hackathon and virtual summit focusing on the safety of women in cyberspace and public, women hygiene solutions, and re-skilling opportunities for women in the post-Covid world.
Nisha will organise in December the 'She Power' Hackathon and Summit in association with the US Department of State and implementing partner World Learning. The hackathon, open to women startups, aim to encourage women tech innovations in India. The initiative is supported by the Kerala Startup Mission.
