Introduction

India’s strides in achieving greater gender diversity in corporate boardrooms deserve applause. The increased presence of women in these spaces isn’t just a statistical win; it marks a profound cultural and systemic shift. It signals a departure from traditional norms that have long shaped the corporate landscape. As India aims for an 8% GDP growth by 2030, it’s evident that prioritising higher women leadership and strategic upskilling is crucial. Women’s leadership in India serves as a guiding light, paving new avenues for progress and inclusivity. This leadership wave isn’t solely about representation; it acts as a catalyst sparking transformative change, inspiring future generations, and shaping a future where everyone’s potential flourishes, free from gender limitations.
