Women worldwide are picking-up fast to catch-up with men after many years of underrepresentation, suppression and denial of freedom. Today, there are many strong examples in front of us of women steering many high profile companies towards profitability under their leadership. There are women acquiring success alone even at the points men have failed. Recently, we saw one of the major coffee brands in the country being led to profit managed alone by a women, after her husband committing sui-cide because of the debt in the business. Hence, women are no longer considered week, at least by some of them in the world. It is the upliftment of a section of society who were suppressed for generations and judged weak due to biological body difference, physical appearance and physical strength.

Women's intelligence were degraded for many years by a male dominated society. But today, they have proved that they are excellent in managerial skills, multi-tasking & problem solving ability and are just similar to their male counter parts.

The percentage of women in senior management for India stood at 39 percent, as against the global average of 31 percent.
