90% women view GenAI as crucial for career growth, says Nasscom-BCG report

Women make up 36 per cent of India’s tech workforce; however, they remain underrepresented in executive roles. India lags with a 64 per cent gender disparity in AI leadership compared to global women leaders. As Gen AI adoption increases, the participation of women in the workforce is important for enhancing ethical outcomes in AI, said a report.

While GenAI will act as an equaliser for women in tech, only 35 per cent of surveyed women respondents feel completely prepared by their employers, leading to barriers in adoption, said the report by Nasscom and Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
