INDIAN WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

This book offers fascinating insights into the development of highly qualified women leaders in India and their roles at both the national and organizational levels. Despite India’s significant economic advancements, gender inequality and the underutilization of female talent continue to persist across the nation. This book addresses the critical need to stop perceiving Indian women as underdeveloped human capital and instead recognize their potential as leaders driving quality work.

It sheds light on the barriers and challenges Indian women face in leadership roles, exploring the deeply rooted cultural and societal constraints, such as family roles and traditional norms. In addition, the book offers a hopeful perspective, focusing on the policies, education, and partnerships that are empowering women to take on leadership positions in various sectors, from corporate India to NGOs and agriculture.

With contributions from leading experts in the field, this volume serves as a vital resource for students, academics, and multinational organizations aiming to understand and foster the leadership potential of women in India.
