In India and beyond, countless women step away from the workforce every year—often not by choice but due to life’s demands: caregiving, motherhood, and societal expectations. For many, the decision feels temporary. But re-entry into the professional world becomes a maze of rejection, self-doubt, and invisibility. That is where Root2Reboot steps in.
Root2Reboot is a workshop initiative designed for women who are not just looking to return to work, but to reclaim their voice and reshape their narrative. Launched by Rooting You in partnership with Changeincontent.com, this first edition focuses on women in tech and STEM fields, many of whom feel overlooked, outdated, or simply unsure of how to begin again.
Why do we need Root2Reboot more than ever
Women in tech/STEM are no strangers to hard work. But too often, their achievements are overshadowed, uncredited, or dismissed—a phenomenon known as the Matilda Effect. This is where men get the credit for the work done by women.
Add to that a career break for parenting or caregiving, and the struggle becomes invisible. Despite their skills, many women face internalised doubt and external bias when trying to re-enter the workforce. Root2Reboot is not just a workshop—it is a re-entry strategy for those ready to own their voice and impact again.
What Root2Reboot offers
Root2Reboot is not motivational fluff or surface-level advice. It is a structured, expert-led program offering:
- Skill Refresh & Visibility: Insights into today’s industry expectations, with help repositioning on platforms like LinkedIn.
- Brand Clarity: Helping women articulate their professional value after a break.
- Mindset Reset: Addressing burnout, imposter syndrome, and internalised guilt.
- Mentorship Access: With experienced professionals guiding both technical and personal transitions.
- Career & Business Pathways: Real opportunities, networks, and startup support to reignite careers.
This is a comeback system designed for tangible outcomes, not just empowerment quotes.
