Women, The Go-To Talent Pool At Electronics Factories!
Business Today India|March 19, 2023
From mobile phones to consumer durables to electric mobility, women are becoming the go-to talent pool at electronics factories, thanks to their natural dexterity, a shortage of skilled labour, and companies looking to up their gender diversity quotient

Women, The Go-To Talent Pool At Electronics Factories!

A BRAIN. A central nervous system. A skeleton and a body. Believe it or not, we're not talking about the human body here; electronics, too, have them. And chances are that a woman in a factory in one of the many industrial belts of the country is bringing them to life.

Take the ubiquitous smartphone, for instance. The printed circuit board (PCB), a tiny but complex network of circuits that allows parts of the phone to talk to each other, is its brain. Rows of women hunched over their workstations in the assembly lines of mobile phone factories hook up the PCB with other parts of the phone.

Or take a car. The wiring harness that powers everything from the head lamp to the tail mp when the engine is brought to ignition is its central nervous system. It's not unusual anymore for a group of women to have braided it into the beast. Or look at the TV, refrigerator, washing machine, AC or any of the sundry electronics at your home. It's very possible that a woman put together its parts to build up its body.
