For success in AI adoption tech firms need greater gender diversity: Nasscom-BCG report

Women in the country’s tech sector exhibit higher levels of professional ambition across all levels compared to their male counterparts, a report by Nasscom in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group, said on Thursday.

The landscape of India’s tech industry is evolving, with women making up 36% of the workforce, the report noted. However, a significant gender gap remains, particularly in executive roles. The introduction of Generative AI (GenAI) is poised to transform the tech sector, offering a unique opportunity to address this disparity by enabling women to overcome traditional barriers, it added.
