Indian women are scaling heights in sectors historically dominated by men:
The most significant shift in recent decades is the rise of Indian women in the workforce. From software engineers in Bengaluru to scientists at ISRO, entrepreneurs in Delhi, and farmers in Punjab, women are breaking professional barriers. Yet, the burden of "double duty" persists.
