Gender diversity at the workplace has never been so important. As companies worldwide acknowledge the need for a diverse workforce, the theme of gender diversity is transforming into one of the most important determinants for business growth, innovation, and forward march. Diversity in the workplace not only enhances innovation and solving not only problem-solving but also enables organizations to adjust to dynamic market conditions. With the globe speeding towards a more inclusive tomorrow, it's obvious that attracting and retaining people diversity is no longer a social responsibility for corporate but a key business necessity. Gender diversity in India's workforce is an area of growing focus, with increasing efforts to address representation gaps across various sectors. While women make up nearly 50% of the population, their presence in key industries, particularly those vital for national growth, has room for expansion. The infrastructure sector, which is currently experiencing an extraordinary boom, presents a significant opportunity for women to contribute. As one of the country's largest employers, increasing female representation in this sector not only benefits individual companies but also plays a pivotal role in driving India’s overall growth and progress.
