It was incredible to connect with the CEO and Co-Founder of <div>ersity, Nina Baliga. A female founded, woman of color startup focused on connecting a community of diverse tech talent with forward-thinking companies. Nina is building a "Glassdoor for diversity," where diverse coders, engineers, and developers can share their experiences about the diversity and inclusion practices and environment of various companies.
Nina identified a pain point that originated from her combined personal and professional experiences. Her company strives to create a community that helps companies find great talent outside of their traditional networks, and for diverse talent to find great companies to work for by building a platform that is conscious about the challenges that both companies and diverse talent face in the workplace.
Nina’s Why
My why comes down to making as much of an impact on people’s lives as possible for the better. I want to be a part of the changes that improve the lives of people who are marginalized and oppressed and don’t have a voice. That is always going to be the why that drives me for everything that I do, but how it manifests is always going to be growing and changing.
