Overview
is a special Flipkart initiative that started in 2018 with the sole objective of championing women's tech talent and providing them an opportunity to work with the best tech minds working passionately towards solving for a billion Indian dreams. Having served budding women engineers across 6 splendid seasons, GWC is now back with a new edition.
Akin to Girls Wanna Code, many of you would also remember Flipkart Runway, our Early Career program for women engineers, designed to fast-track their journey towards a thriving tech career. To provide a seamless experience that caters to the entire Women in Tech community, we have retained the goodness of the two constructs, and resultantly, are pleased to confirm the launch of a rejuvenated & unified GWC program.
Presenting Flipkart - Code your own runway!
Flipkart Girls Wanna Code 7.0 is a unique upskilling program designed with the purpose of making our tech ecosystem more fairly inclusive and represented. It is strategically designed to establish a solid groundwork for women in engineering, offering them early exposure to developmental opportunities. Through engagement with challenging real-time problem statements, mentoring, and networking opportunities, participants will gain invaluable experience.
The chosen engineers will not only secure an internship opportunity for 2026, but also stand a chance to secure a Pre-Placement Interview (PPI) for an internship with Flipkart.
The program invites applications from women students across PAN India Engineering colleges, and across multiple streams, degrees and specialisations.
