Red flag: Why are so few women checking into India Inc's C-suite?

Only 4% of exec directors at Nifty 50 are women, and across NSE-listed cos that figure drops to 3%; enabling policies needed to empower them. There is a persistent and high level of unconscious bias as well. Allyship is key. “Boys clubs still operate that many times do not give women the right kind of projects (that can advance them in their career) thus demotivating many women who see their juniors becoming senior and moving ahead,” said Girotra.
