The semiconductor sector is demonstrating a strong desire to increase diversity and inclusion

Radhika Chennakeshavula
Senior Director-IT, Micron India 

“At Micron, we have been raising — and will continue to raise — the profile of women in engineering within the semiconductor industry. Increased representation of underrepresented groups is one of our six FY21 commitments to diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI). Micron invests in many programs to engage girls and young women in STEM to feed the early talent pipeline, not just for Micron but also for the entire semiconductor industry. Through the Global Women’s Mentorship Program, Micron’s global female leaders are making a difference around the world. They have provided mentoring to more than 100 female students from 35 universities in 11 different countries. In India, Micron’s talent acquisition team is recruiting recent female college graduates in IT for our technology and products group and DRAM engineering group. The Micron Women’s Leadership Network (MWLN) is an employee-led and volunteer-driven group focused on strengthening the leadership, engagement and voices of women at Micron. It is Micron’s first and one of our largest employee resource groups, with more than 4,000 members. This community of women and allies fosters mentorship opportunities across the company, including the Women Innovate (WIN) program that provides hands-on innovation experience towards its mission of increasing female inventor participation and fostering an inclusive innovation culture.”
