There is a need for a healthy workforce which is diverse and talented

Vinny Sharma, Marketing Director - Asia Pacific & Japan, Securonix

“In today's world, every tech organization is working to create a more gender-inclusive workplace. They are slowly realizing the importance of having more female leaders as it is a proven fact that when women become leaders, they bring a unique set of skills and imaginative perspectives driving effective solutions. We, at Securonix, strongly believe in gender diversity and encourage in developing a conducive environment for female leaders to grow. We recently announced the appointment of Nayaki Nayyar as the new CEO of the company. However, while tremendous progress has been made in this area, there is still a fundamental lack of women in leadership roles and a long road to achieve equal representation of women in tech.

Technology is shaping our lives in unimaginable ways and it’s not an exaggeration to say that it is fundamental to the development of the country. Therefore, this calls for a healthy workforce which is diverse and talented. But India still lacks women tech leaders. According to Skillsoft’s 2022 Women in Tech Report that surveyed 1,004 women tech professionals in the India region, only seven percent held executive-level positions, while 13 percent held managing director-level positions.

The hybrid work culture is here to stay, and the remote working structure is revolutionizing the working environment of every organization. In the post-pandemic scenario, many professionals now engage in hybrid working - dividing their time between their home and their workplace.”
