This is a bit of a surprise. India now has the world's largest number of professionally qualified women. We have more working women than any other country in the world, handling everything from laser scalpels, blinking cockpits, nextgen software, farm equipment to the steering wheel of a city bus. From assigned roles as teachers, nurses, fish packers, telephone operators and administrative assistants to acquired ones as Principals, HR heads, Directors, Vice-Presidents, MDs and business owners, they have inched up in status and added up to their pay-cheques. They are stepping into the formal economy, happily knocking down cultural goalposts on the way.
