Greetings from Saira!
Returning to the tech workforce after a career break is rarely a straightforward decision.
It often brings up questions. Where do I begin again? Do my skills still hold relevance? How do I rebuild confidence in a fast-moving industry?
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. And more importantly, this is where the right structure and support can make a meaningful difference.
Introducing ReStart – Women in Tech Accelerator.
ReStart is an 8-week, application-based return-to-work accelerator designed for early to mid-level women in tech who are re-entering the workforce after a career break.
The program is designed and delivered by Saira in strategic collaboration with AnitaB.org India, bringing together applied AI capability-building, leadership reactivation, mentorship, and curated industry exposure.
This is not a beginner program. It is a structured pathway for professionals with prior experience who are ready to return with relevance, visibility, and confidence.
