“Since the last decade, the IT industry has shown tremendous improvement when it comes to bridging the gender gap and empowering women through STEM education. This has encouraged women to join entry-level positions and make their way to the top, but we are nowhere close to equal opportunities when it comes to women in intermediate management levels and senior leadership roles. As per the latest NASSCOM report, with women constituting more than 36% of the total talent pool working in the IT sector, India's IT industry is among the largest private-sector employers of women.

These proactive measures can help women ascend the IT corporate ladder and enjoy better opportunities for career growth.”
