Speaking to Indian Express, MyHiringClub.com CEO Rajesh Kumar said, "Indian Inc needed to do more to promote women into senior corporate roles.”

"While more than 30 per cent of team strength in Indian Inc is female, among these only 15 per cent are on senior executive roles. Business needed to see the promotion of women into senior ranks as something that would benefit them in a time of skill shortages," he added.

Further on a positive note Rajesh said, “When it comes to closing the gender gap among top leadership posts in India Inc, women started getting significant gains in 2011.”

"In 2011, women held 21.1 per cent of executive positions at Fortune 500 companies and 9 percent of executive positions in others," he added.

The country’s leading private banks like ICICI and Axis Bank are headed by female CEO’s namely Chanda Kochhar and Shikha Sharma, respectively. Apart from them the other women directors on Indian organizations include Sminu Jindal of Jindal Saw, Reliance Infrastructure's Leena Srivastava, Radha Singh of Yes Bank, Renu Sud Karnad of HDFC and Vinita Gupta of Lupin.
