A report by AIM Research titled ‘Women in Tech 2023 (India)’ found that out of the total pool of tech professionals across India, the share of women tech professionals is only 29 per cent.
Anjali Sharma, Director, Global Head of L&D, Fulcrum Digital, said the ascent of women in tech in India is both a triumph and a call to action.

According to Sharma, the journey towards gender equality in tech is a shared responsibility, with collaboration needed from individuals, organisations, and policymakers.
