Women Making an Impact: Innovators, Entrepreneurs, Actors, and Leader

TECHNOLOGY has been central to the growth of the economy and the country in the last few years. We have seen the power of digital being embraced across sectors to enhance their reach and facilitate equity in their offerings. It is also a key component for furthering gender equality. The Global Gender Gap Report 2022, ranks India at 135 out of 146, with Bangladesh and Nepal ahead of it in gender parity. As of last year, the global gender gap has been closed by 68.1 per cent. With the current numbers, it will take 132 years to reach full parity.

Take Notice

Gender equality is a must have conversation if we are to progress as a society and an economy. Digital technology must be leveraged for inclusion and to help women progress. For instance, digital education is a powerful tool when working towards advancement and inclusion. A 2022 United Nations (UN) report found that women’s exclusion from the digital world has cost low- and middle-income countries $1 trillion from their gross domestic product (GDP) over the last decade. Aligned with the United Nations’ International Women’s Day theme, ‘DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality’ we celebrate India’s Most Influential Women. These ladies are innovators, entrepreneurs, actors, and corporate leaders who are contributing to society and the economy in meaningful ways. In the pages ahead, you will read about inspirational women who through their work have helped push India ahead. We also turn the spotlight on ladies who we believe will be the face of new India.
