Women’s Day 2024: It would not be an exaggeration if we say that India continues to face significant challenges in achieving gender parity in the realm of investing.
Despite experiencing a notable surge in overall investor numbers, the participation of women in the world of investing remains disproportionately low in India. For instance, according to data provided by equity research firm Trendlyne, among India’s top 10 investors, only one is a woman.
There is a need for initiatives aimed at empowering and encouraging more women to engage actively in the world of finance.
