From pioneering the first long-distance automobile journey to shaping the future of mobility, women have been at the wheel for over 136 years. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrated this legacy of innovation that began with Bertha Benz and continues through the brilliant women at Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India. Join us in honouring these women who illustrate that when we empower women in science and technology, innovation knows no bounds. #IDWGS #WomenInSTEM #TogetherForExcellence
