Navigating Barriers and Celebrating Achievements: International Women’s Day 2024

“The demand for women professionals is seeing significant attention, and companies recognizing this trend are not only aligning with investor expectations but also experiencing positive outcomes. This trend is now a criterion used by investors to assess a company’s impact on the environment, society, and governance.  In nearly 30% of our mandates spanning diverse sectors, there’s a distinct preference for women candidates over their male counterparts. The objective, we have observed, is no longer an HR discussion; rather is being driven by the boards. The leaders of today are making diversity a top priority, establishing it as a non-negotiable component of their corporate agenda, to create diverse, equitable, and balanced workspaces of tomorrow.” – Mr. Atul Vohra, Managing Partner, TRANSEARCH India
