Creating an inclusive & equitable future for women starters, restarters and risers.

 

Women are the backbone of the Indian economy, and India has the potential to add $700 billion to the global GDP by increasing women’s participation in the labour force (McKinsey Global). It also states that the country could add nearly $2.9T by giving equal opportunities to women.

 

Let’s discuss challenges faced by women in the workplace and explore strategies to unlock and maximise growth opportunities for them by dismantling gender bias, promoting equal opportunities and implementing supportive policies.

What is corporate India doing to advance women in the workforce?

According to a recent survey conducted by HerKey, it was found that only 37% of women currently hold senior to leadership positions in the participating organizations.

Let’s discuss the lack of representation in leadership positions; the scarcity of female role models and mentors can hinder women's progression, as it becomes harder for them to envision themselves in higher-level positions and receive guidance to navigate potential obstacles.
