A panel of six distinguished figures in science, technology, and entrepreneurship will evaluate applicants, focusing on academic and leadership potential.

Esteemed jury members, including Dr. Sapna Poti, Kirthiga Reddy, and Anuradha Acharya, emphasize supporting India's innovation future by inspiring female leaders in STEM.
