India is one of the largest I.T. services exporters in the world, and companies such as Infosys, Wipro are leading I.T. entities worldwide. The presence of discrimination in the form of a Glass ceiling is a hindrance to the advancement of a country both in economic and in generic terms. With the advent of time the goal of gender equity is coming up, the society is moving from patriarchal to a feministic society.
The word feminism doesn't mean better facilities to women but to offer equal opportunities, respect and salary as the other gender gets. But is the term glass ceiling relatable only to women? No, it includes all those sections of population who are being discriminated against, who are bound down by the unseen forces and stereotypical norms laid down by the society, trying to restrict their way to the top. Though after the amendment of Companies Act 2013 under section 149(1), we saw that all the listed companies and some other classes of companies are having at-least one woman director as mandated by law, but still there underlies a huge need to change the managerial structures too.
Our study is to examine the degree of the existence of Glass-Ceiling in the leading I.T. companies listed in the BSE 30 index over a period of 4 years starting from 2013-14.
