Women to drive India's tech industry growth with a demographic shift of skilled professionals. Increasing diversity and rising opportunities for women in the industry will fuel the transformation

The article from Business Standard discusses the growth and diversity of women in the technology sector in India, particularly highlighting the period up to 2027. It notes a significant increase in women's participation in tech roles, especially in fields like data science, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI). According to the data, women now constitute 34% of the tech workforce in India, up from previous years, with projections suggesting this number could rise to 40% by 2027. The article attributes this growth to several factors including increased educational opportunities, corporate diversity initiatives, and government policies promoting STEM education among women. It also mentions the role of mentorship programs and networking events in fostering this growth. However, challenges such as the gender pay gap, work-life balance, and cultural biases still persist, though efforts are being made to address these issues through policy changes and corporate culture shifts. The piece concludes by emphasizing the importance of continued support and investment in women's tech education and career advancement to sustain this upward trend.
