In a world where AI is quickly becoming the new electricity, Chaitra Vedullapalli reminds us that ???????????????? ???????????? is the switch we must turn on for everyone, not just the privileged few. In our latest interview for Women in Technology Publication, I had the opportunity to interview Chaitra, the Co-Founder & President of Women in Cloud, and she shared her insights about why democratizing access to technology is one of the most underrated yet powerful acts of leadership. From her personal journey, from aspiring housewife to tech executive, to her relentless work creating pathways for women and underrepresented communities through Women in Cloud, Chaitra shows us that true leadership is not about holding power, but about opening doors for others. One of my favorite reflections from our conversation: “If AI is the new electricity for the world, then economic access is the switch. If we do not turn it on for everyone, we are building an economy that only serves a few.” Endorsed by Microsoft, Women in Cloud is now preparing to skill thousands of women through initiatives like the Microsoft AI Skills Festival event and the 50 Days of Learning, helping women gain critical AI and cloud skills, and ultimately economic mobility. Read the full interview below and be inspired to think differently about access, leadership, and the future of technology. #womenintech #AI #inclusiveleadership #economicaccess #womenincloud #MicrosoftAI #empowHERaccess
