I wrote about two Indian women in tech, one of whom was an informal mentor and guide to me in my early days in the IT industry. But in general, Indian women in science and tech are not a visible community (notwithstanding programmers working on code in large numbers). Growing up and then as an engineer, all my templates were male which was ok because it didn't stop me carving a path in the industry but it would have been nicer to have had more women around. Relatedly I think you will like the recently published book 'Lilavati's Daughters' which chronicles Indian women in science and technology. I am waiting for my copy via a friend. JP:
