Supporting women in tech has been my ongoing aim as a woman tech founder. Thus, I am excited to see an increase in women’s participation in the workforce. According to a study conducted by 451 Research in 2022, women comprise 34% of the Indian IT workforce. Further, India has achieved a 50:50 gender balance in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.
However, the same study reports only 51% of women are recruited for entry-level positions. The numbers drop to 25% of women in management positions, and only 1% hold C-suite positions. There is a significant gender gap in employment and leadership opportunities, wages, and workplace perception, among other things.
The current situation requires immediate change that can only be achieved through reordering internal departments, and corporate policies and revamping the business ecosystem. However, the aim to enhance the participation of women in the tech industry will remain incomplete without adequately representing women in policymaking. Though the government has introduced many initiatives (like The Startup India Program) targeting up-skilling and reskilling, education, and finance management for women, exposing them to international markets and trade is necessary.
More initiatives to neutralise the prevailing gender inequality in industries like IT and BFSI are required to create an impartial and prejudice-free work environment. To continue its economic growth, India requires two things –first, stronger entrepreneurial contributions, and second, equal opportunities for men and women to compete for and win projects based on abilities and merit.
Underrepresentation of women in tech roles not only widens the gender gap but also limits the scope of companies to sustain themselves in a competitive market. Going by McKinsey and Company’s ‘Why Diversity Matters’ report, businesses prioritising gender diversity achieve superior financial returns than those failing to promote gender equality. Companies must widen their talent pools in a competitive market dominated by skill gaps through a better gender equality approach.
Unfortunately, engineering and core STEM jobs are still seen as male-dominated professions keeping women away from the numerous opportunities in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and robotics. Adding insult to injury, the prevalence of bias in the tech industry worsens the situation. Whether conscious or unconscious, such biases often lead to subtle discrimination with damaging consequences for women employees and businesses. Owing to this, deserving women candidates are excluded from projects, promotions, and leadership opportunities.

The union government’s present position vis-à-vis the upcoming United Nations conference on racial and related discrimination world-wide seems to be the following: discuss race please, not a caste; caste is our very own and not at all bad as you think. The gross hypocrisy of that position has been lucidly underscored by Kancha Ilaiah. Explicitly, the world community is to be cheated out of considering the matter on the technicality that caste is not, as a concept, tantamount to a racial category. Internally, however, allowing the issue to be put on agenda at the said conference would, we are patriotically admonished, damage the country’s image. Somehow, India’s ritual beliefs elbow out concrete actualities. Inverted representations, as we know, have often been deployed in human histories as a"balm for the forsaken" – religion being the most persistent of such inversions.Yet, we would humbly submit that if globalizing our markets are thought good for the ‘national’ pocket, "globalizing our social inequities" might not be so bad for the mass of our people. After all, racism was uniquely institutionalized in South Africa as caste discrimination has been within our society: why then can’t we permit the world community to express itself on the latter with a function of the zeal with which, through the years, we pronounced what on the former?As to the technically about whether or not caste is admissible into an agenda about race (that the conference is also about ‘related discriminations’ tends to be forgotten), a reputed sociologist has recently argued that where race is a "biological"construct, caste is a "social"one. Having earlier fiercely opposed implementation of the Mandal Commission Report, the said sociologist is at least to be complemented now for admitting, however tangentially, that caste discrimination is a reality, although, in his view, incompatible with racial discrimination. One would like quickly to offer the hypothesis that biology, in important ways that affect the lives of many millions, is in itself perhaps a social construct. But let us look at the matter in another way.If it is agreed – as per the position today at which anthropological and allied scientific determinations rest – that the entire race of homo sapiens derived from an original black African female (called ‘Eve’) then one is hard put to understand how, on some subsequent ground, ontological distinctions are to be drawn either between races or castes. Let us also underline the distinction between the supposition that we are all Gods children and the rather more substantiated argument about our descent from ‘Eve’, lest both positions are thought to be equally diversionary. It then stands to reason that all subsequent distinctions are, in modern parlance, ‘constructed’ ones, and, like all ideological constructions, attributable to changing equations between knowledge and power among human communities through contested histories here, there, and elsewhere.This line of thought receives, thankfully, extremely consequential buttress from the findings of the Human Genome project. Contrary to earlier (chiefly 19th-century colonial) persuasions on the subject of race, as well as, one might add, the somewhat infamous Jensen offerings in the 20th century from America, those findings deny the genetic difference between "races". If anything, they suggest that environmental factors impinge on gene-function, as dialectic seems to unfold between nature and culture. It would thus seem that ‘biology’ as the constitution of pigmentation enters the picture first only as a part of that dialectic. Taken together, the original mother stipulation and the Genome findings ought indeed to furnish ground for human equality across the board, as well as yield policy initiatives towards equitable material dispensations aimed at building a global order where, in Hegel’s stirring formulation, only the rational constitutes the right. Such, sadly, is not the case as every day, fresh arbitrary grounds for discrimination are constructed in the interests of sectional dominance.Q.Based on the passage, which broad areas unambiguously fall under the purview of the UN conference being discussed?

Owing to this, deserving women candidates are excluded from projects, promotions, and leadership opportunities.Q.Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?a)Women comprise 34% of the Indian IT workforce.b)India has achieved a 50:50 gender balance in STEM education.c)The government has successfully eliminated all gender inequalities in the tech industry.d)There is a significant gender gap in employment and leadership opportunities.Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?, a detailed solution for Directions: Kindly read the passage carefully and answer the questions given beside.Supporting women in tech has been my ongoing aim as a woman tech founder. Thus, I am excited to see an increase in women’s participation in the workforce. According to a study conducted by 451 Research in 2022, women comprise 34% of the Indian IT workforce. Further, India has achieved a 50:50 gender balance in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.However, the same study reports only 51% of women are recruited for entry-level positions. The numbers drop to 25% of women in management positions, and only 1% hold C-suite positions. There is a significant gender gap in employment and leadership opportunities, wages, and workplace perception, among other things.The current situation requires immediate change that can only be achieved through reordering internal departments, and corporate policies and revamping the business ecosystem. However, the aim to enhance the participation of women in the tech industry will remain incomplete without adequately representing women in policymaking. Though the government has introduced many initiatives (like The Startup India Program) targeting up-skilling and reskilling, education, and finance management for women, exposing them to international markets and trade is necessary.More initiatives to neutralise the prevailing gender inequality in industries like IT and BFSI are required to create an impartial and prejudice-free work environment. To continue its economic growth, India requires two things –first, stronger entrepreneurial contributions, and second, equal opportunities for men and women to compete for and win projects based on abilities and merit.Underrepresentation of women in tech roles not only widens the gender gap but also limits the scope of companies to sustain themselves in a competitive market. Going by McKinsey and Company’s ‘Why Diversity Matters’ report, businesses prioritising gender diversity achieve superior financial returns than those failing to promote gender equality. Companies must widen their talent pools in a competitive market dominated by skill gaps through a better gender equality approach.Unfortunately, engineering and core STEM jobs are still seen as male-dominated professions keeping women away from the numerous opportunities in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and robotics.
