Bangalore: Issues regarding women have always been a debatable topic in India, although women in India have come a long way by competing neck  to neck with men and yet, women are bound with several issues that later become hindrance in their career like motherhood , commitments towards the family, home etc. India has a male dominated society, where it has always been difficult for women employees to remain in a particular workplace as they are some way or the other criticized by our conservative community.

India's rate of female participation in the labor force is the lowest among the BRIC countries, as it is only 34.2 percent, says the U.N. statistics report. While 42 percent of the women are college graduates in India, the diploma holders are expected to remain involved in the domestic affairs like childcare, taking care of the other family members at home etc. "The measures of daughterly guilt are much higher in Indian women than in the West," says Sylvia Ann Hewlett, President of the Center for Work-Life Policy, a Manhattan think tank, who conducted a study on the challenges Indian women face in the workplace.

India is regarded as a developing nation where women  are pursuing challenging careers that are high paying still they are bound within certain boundaries of the society which compel them to quit their high paying jobs later in life, taking care of the household affairs emerge to be the main priority of their life. Therefore, apart from being great at work, women generally fail to grab the managerial positions which they very well deserve after certain point of time.  It is commonly seen that gender inequalities become more prominent within the Indian companies for the top managerial positions as most companies in India take no step to sustain their valuable female employees at work. The companies are more focused on their own profits and while choosing among two equally qualified candidates, they give more priority to the male counterparts. However, on the other hand, there are also Indian companies like Infosys that facilitate their female employees like providing them with vacations, extended maternity leave, and train them with enhanced programs after they return back from their leaves. The company tracks the percentage of female employees coming back to work after maternity leaves and it is said that there is 88 percent rise in the number of female workers coming back to work from 2006. According to Bloomberg Newsweek "A lot of men believe maternity is a disease, and we have to teach them," says Nandita Gurjar, senior Vice-President for Human Resources, Infosys. Likewise during school holidays in the spring, technology giant Wipro runs on-site day camp for children of the female employees.
