Ltd. Breakfast & Networking Panel Discussion: Women in Leadership: Strategies for Strengthening the C+ club With a lot of studies pointing towards ‘gender diversity reaps better financial results for a company’, organizations have increasingly become more sensitive to making diversity and inclusion (D&I) a part of their strategic priorities. As per a global report by Grant Thornton, ‘India ranks third lowest in having women in leadership roles’. However, with the latest SEBI guidelines on board representation, these figures are slowly changing. As per a McKinsey & Company report, ‘Achieving gender equality in India would have a larger economic impact there than in any other region in the world.’ Some studies also reveal that the highest percentage of women executive directors in the pharmaceutical industry is only 7.69%. Organizations are now channelizing their efforts towards building a gender rich workforce, with a special focus on women in leadership roles. This panel discussion will be addressed by highly accomplished women and men from the pharma and biopharma industry who are at leadership positions and have broken the glass ceiling in a previously male preserve.
