Our Shepreneurs issue is a tribute to the women who fought against all the odds and came out on top. The issue encapsulates the vigour, the perseverance and the determination of all the women featured. Couples at home and couples at work are two different equations. However, there are some who have successfully managed to keep the status quo. With the e-sports industry and quick commerce sector on the rise, the issue provides real insights on the journey of Lighthouse Learning and United Breweries Limited.

Shepreneurs WOMEN to WATCH

A recent report titled India Startup Outlook by Innoven Capital highlighted the gender disparity that exists in the Indian startup ecosystem. Despite seeing the highest numbers of unicorns emerge in India to date and startups having seen a positive fundraising experience, the Indian startup system’s tryst with gender disparity has seen little development since 2019, the report stated. The report cited a few reasons for the persistence of the same - hidden biases, lack of talent pool in overwhelmingly male-dominated scenarios and a lack of female founders in the system. Also, as per Deloitte's Women in the Boardroom report, there has been very little change in corporate boardrooms since 2014. Women's representation of board seats increased by 9.4 percent from 2014 to 17.1 percent in India, but they comprise only 3.6 percent of the board chairs, down by 0.9 percent since 2018. With such bleak mentions about the rise of women leaders and entrepreneurs in a nation that is the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world, this is concerning. Every year, we have been trying to uncover stories of beliefs, rises and achievements of women leaders who did it. Our aim while finding these new names every year is to let you - our readers get inspired through their journeys and do what you believe in. Our purpose of writing these stories would be achieved only if see more women achievers emerging. Gender diversity is not something to be only preached and written, it is something you have to practice. Here’s hoping to have more shepreneurs coming out of their cocoons and shining as you see some in the ensuing pages.

India’s quick commerce sector is expected to grow 10-15 times in the next five years to become a $5 billion market by 2025, according to a report by consulting firm RedSeer.

DECODED INDIAN E-SPORTS SECTOR

“Reality is broken. Game designers can fix it” are the words said by Jane McGonigal. Gaming has always been a global phenomenon. The pandemic forced people to be confined within the walls of their homes. Furthermore, the fear of the virus played a huge part in people taking interest in virtual environments that these games provided. The people of India were always drawn towards gaming but due to economic limitations and parental restrictions, gaming could never come to the fore like it did in the rest of the world.

Now Entering The Era Of Flexibility

While the pandemic highlighted the importance of the employee experience, the “Great Resignation” has only catalyzed it. As millions of burned-out and dissatisfied workers quit their jobs in search of purpose and passion, it’s drummed up an important question: when did work become the antithesis of that? The workforce is not accepting pre-pandemic workplace relics anymore — they expect greater flexibility and autonomy in terms of how they use their time and where they work. They are asking for a hand on the steering wheel,resulting in a new era of work defined by employees’ ability to do their best work from anywhere.
