Tara Chklovski, founder and CEO of Technovation, is reshaping opportunities for young women in technology. Inspired by her experiences growing up in India and working as an aerospace engineer, she developed a widely adopted education model that combines mentorship, hands-on learning, and entrepreneurship to prepare girls to thrive in tech.

Named by TechCrunch as “teaching the next generation of AI innovators,” Tara has built Technovation into a global movement reaching more than 400,000 people across 160+ countries. Her research shows that providing AI education for girls could unlock a $200 billion opportunity for the world economy.

Through Technovation and The AI Forward Alliance (TAIFA), she is preparing 25 million young women to lead in AI innovation and address global challenges.
