In the rich tapestry of India’s leadership, threads of strength, resilience, and innovation are often woven by formidable women. Yet, a stark reality persists: their presence remains noticeably lacking in certain industries. Despite recent progress, sectors like technology, finance, and heavy industries remain predominantly male-dominated. This disparity is rooted in deep-seated societal norms, cultural biases, and systemic barriers that impede women’s advancement in these fields.
Nevertheless, there are encouraging signs of change on the horizon. Initiatives promoting gender diversity and inclusion, coupled with efforts to shatter stereotypes and confront biases, are beginning to yield results. More organisations are recognising the value of diverse leadership teams, not just for ethical reasons, but also for the concrete benefits they bring, such as increased innovation, enhanced decision-making, and improved financial performance.
