“Can a woman fix a smartphone?” This question often echoes through the minds of those who enter the vivo service center in Behala, West Bengal. Yet, as visitors soon discover, the reality is a powerful reflection of the capability and resilience of women, regardless of their field of work.

As March unfolds, a month dedicated to honoring womanhood in all its facets, the spotlight turns to this unique service center, where every technician, every receptionist, and incharge, is a woman. For the women working here, every day at work isn’t just about repairing devices or providing customer service; it’s about shattering stereotypes. In a society where engineering and technology are often seen as male-dominated domains, these women stand as living proof that gender has no bearing on capability.

“For us, low acceptance is nothing new. In a world where leadership is often equated with masculinity, I had to fight twice as hard to be taken seriously.”

With each phone repaired, they not only mend devices but also mend perceptions, proving that talent knows no gender. Together, they weave a narrative of progress and inclusivity, forging a brighter future for generations to come.
