A new white paper titled "Women Leadership in India Inc." explores the current state of women in leadership roles within Indian companies and the larger Asian business ecosystem. The study acknowledges the positive impact of government initiatives in promoting women's participation in the workforce but also highlights the need for individual companies to take ownership of advancing women in leadership positions. The paper identifies various obstacles hindering women's advancement, including organizational policies, limited career advancement opportunities, work-life balance challenges, and cultural norms and stereotypes. The study proposes eight actionable solutions, such as incentivizing companies to promote gender diversity, mandatory diversity reporting, and promoting sponsorship and allyship for career advancement. By implementing these solutions, companies can create a more inclusive and equitable work environment, empowering women and contributing to economic and social progress in Asia.
