On the fifth edition of the Women Transforming India (WTI) Awards organised by NITI Aayog, 75 women achievers were felicitated in a ceremony held in Delhi on March 21.
Bigfix co-founder Dhevibala was among the honorees, for having developed a service management platform. She has been instrumental in transforming the livelihood of small repair shops and blue-collar technicians.
Dhevibala was born into a middle class family. Her family culture stressed that just having a degree for oneself was not enough, but that knowledge must be used for the benefit and up-liftment of the society as a whole. This global perspective is the foundation and inspiration on which she finished Masters in Computer Application (MCA) from Meenakshi College, Chennai. She turned entrepreneur by owning a Nokia Care franchise in 2009 and running it successfully. After Nokia, she founded Bigfix in 2015 and in 7 years the company established an alpha position in India.
Today Bigfix sources work from leading oem brands, ecommerce and insurance companies and gets them executed through service partners staffed with skill sector certified technicians. More than 8000 technicians have been skilled and deployed through the platform. Bigfix is seed funded and manages to register 30% year-on-year growth competing with the well funded majors in the industry.
The awards were conferred by Kiran Bedi, former Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, Lakshmi Puri, former Assistant Secretary-General of UN, Arundhati Bhattacharya, former Chairperson of SBI, Debjani Ghosh, NASSCOM President, Ila Arun, noted singer, Dr Sangeeta Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals, Salma Sultan, former DD News Anchor, Shivani Malik, MD of Da Milano Leathers and Dr Tessy Thomas, Director-General of Aeronautical Systems DRDO.
