Visionaire CEO Aneeta Gupta has become the first woman outside of the USA to win Women in AV Award from InfoComm.
The Women in AV Award was created by InfoComm to raise awareness on the growing role of women professionals in the
field of audiovisual technology. The award was presented to Gupta at InfoComm 2013 held earlier this month.
“Aneeta Gupta has demonstrated extraordinary
levels of professional knowledge, while taking time to improve the industry and better the lives of others,†said David Labuskes from InfoComm.
Aneeta
Gupta started her company, an ICT solution provider and system integrator in the Middle East region, in 1995 with two employees. The
company developed a new business model for system integration called Technomics with 600 people supporting the organization and its customers in the
Middle East and other parts of the world.
Gupta believes in the empowerment of women, which has led to her nurturing several
leadership positions in Visionaire. Currently, the heads of Technical Program Management, Procurement Management, Marketing and Human Resources are women. And in 2012, 80
percent of Visionaire’s internship and trainee engineering intake program were women engineers.
Apart from her leadership role at Visionaire, Gupta mentors young
entrepreneurs. She plays a leadership role as a charter member of TiE, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship worldwide, with 57 chapters in 14 countries.
