Female representation drops in Indian media, entertainment sector: Report

The article from Business Standard discusses a report by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force, highlighting a decline in female representation within India's media and entertainment sector. According to the report, the percentage of women in leadership roles has decreased from 13% in 2022 to 11% in 2023. This drop is attributed to several factors including the lack of women in decision-making positions, the impact of the post-Covid-19 environment, and the absence of structured diversity and inclusion policies. The report also notes that while there has been some progress in hiring women at entry and mid-level positions, the overall representation of women in the industry remains low, with only 26% of the workforce being female. The DEI Task Force recommends implementing mandatory diversity policies, setting diversity targets, and fostering a more inclusive work culture to address these disparities.
