Accelerating Opportunities For Women

Founder & CEO of JobsForHer, India's largest job platform for women.

Please tell us about JobsForHer. What was the motivation behind starting a job portal for women?

JobsForHer is an outcome of my personal experience. I took a 3.6-year break in my own career when I had my children. During this personal journey, I became aware of the various difficulties a woman faces to re-enter the workforce. This also opened my eyes to the accomplished and qualified women around me who stopped working for personal reasons then never returned to the workforce. I started delving into the reasons behind this female brain drain, and it became clear that many re-entry challenges need to be addressed in India. These range from requiring flexibility, regaining confidence, retraining, overcoming biases and changing mindsets. It made me determined to enable other women to restart their careers and connect them with whatever they require to do so. And so I founded JobsForHer on International Women's Day, March 2015, and it's now almost 8 years since we've been at this.
