Since 2013, the Indian corporate sector has been legally mandated to have at least one female director on its board. However, despite this requirement, gender diversity in boardrooms across India remains below the global average. A significant number of the women who do serve on boards were appointed primarily due to their familial connections to a founder or owner of the company.
India is recognized as one of the world's fastest-growing emerging economies, making it crucial to examine the reasons behind the low level of gender diversity in boardrooms. This study, Gender Equity in the Boardroom: The Case of India, provides just such an in-depth analysis. Through interviews with board members and executives from both public and private companies, as well as aspiring female leaders currently at mid-management level, and supplemented with the authors' survey of the makeup of 305 Fortune India 500 companies, the book offers insightful insights into questions about board-level gender representation across industries.
The book combines rigorous research and analysis with practical policy recommendations, making it an essential read for HRM and leadership scholars, as well as policymakers worldwide. By shedding light on the challenges and opportunities facing women in the corporate sector, Gender Equity in the Boardroom: The Case of India contributes to the ongoing debate about gender equality and diversity in leadership roles.
