Women in India are becoming empowered and are getting their rightful role in the country. India has more girls than boys in schools and we are seeing women in business who are doing well. There are women coming from traditional families who are donning the role of ceos. Unfortunately, the start-up segment is just dominated by 13 per cent of women. The number can be increased if we show more women as role models and mentors so that young women are encouraged to take up space. The government also needs to give access to capital to them so that we see more female entrepreneurs in the future to come."Richard Hawkes, Chief Executive at The British Asian Trust commented, "It has been a privilege for me to work with women in India. Overall, we need to make legislative and constitutional changes and implement rules related to maternity leaves, gender pay gaps, flexible working environment and empower every single person by focusing on skilling women."India-UK Business Council comprises senior women professionals, women achievers and entrepreneurs across the industry with experience in the corporate domain and in entrepreneurship.Devapriya Khanna (Founder and CEO 212 Degrees Brand Lab) is the Council President, Farah Ismail (Founder & Principal Consultant @ Interact Consulting) is the Council Vice President, Anna De (Founder and Director Healthcare Policy Consultancy), Andrea Stone (Founder Stone Leadership), Angela B.
