Women can and they will

-
In yester-years we used to see fewer women who achieved greater heights like Sarojani Naidu, Mother Teressa, Indra Gandhi, Marget Thatcher to mention a few. They had excelled in their respective fields which we never thought would be possible by a women. Today, we can see more& more women around us excelling in their own careers & at home.

How to increase Women percentage in the workforce.

-
Oil and gas industry has historically been considered a male bastion with  women accounting for just roughly 8% workforce in India and 22% globally. This further deteriorates as one move up the ladder with just 5% women occupying senior leadership position in the oil and gas sector in India. Women also have a disproportionately low representation in technical jobs, where majority of them are restricted to desk.
