𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝟳𝟯,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀! 🚀👩💼 India’s startup ecosystem is thriving, and women entrepreneurs are at the forefront of this growth! According to the Commerce Ministry, over 73,000 startups now have women directors, highlighting the increasing role of women in shaping India’s innovation landscape. From fintech to deep tech, women leaders are driving impact, breaking barriers, and redefining industries. This is more than just a number—it’s a testament to India's evolving business environment and the power of inclusivity in entrepreneurship. Let’s celebrate and support more women-led startups! 🚀👏 #WomenInBusiness #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Innovation #Leadership

The representation of women in Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India is on the rise, with an encouraging increase from 26.6% in FY20 to 30% in FY24. However, there’s still a steep climb ahead, especially in leadership roles where women occupy only 6.7% of executive positions. Here’s how we can change that: 📃 Enhance Work-Life Balance & Career Support Work-life balance is crucial. Flexible working arrangements, such as remote work, flexible hours, and robust parental leave policies, can significantly reduce female attrition rates in mid and senior roles. 📃 Address the Skills Gap Women returning to tech after career breaks often face a skills gap. Let’s create targeted upskilling and reskilling programs to ensure they stay current with rapid technological advancements. Continuous learning opportunities are key! 📃 Shift Cultural Norms Cultural expectations and societal norms still place additional pressures on women. By promoting an inclusive workplace culture and challenging traditional gender roles, we can create a more supportive environment for all. 📃 Retention and Development Programs Mentorship is powerful. Connecting women with successful female role models can provide invaluable guidance and support. Additionally, initiatives to build confidence and leadership skills will prepare women for higher positions. 📃 Focus on Career Development Advocate for policies that support both work-life balance and career advancement. Continuous learning and upskilling should be integral to career development initiatives to help women progress and thrive. 📃 Collaborate and Share Best Practices Let’s work together! Collaborating with other companies and industry groups to share best practices can help us develop comprehensive strategies for promoting gender diversity in tech.

AI implementation is expanding on a wider scale, and it is about time it is embraced by diverse industries. This shift will significantly enhance AI’s innovation capabilities. However, this advancement will create a demand for specialized talent capable of applying AI in various sectors. It will require a combination of AI expertise and industry experience, which will be challenging to meet due to the novelty of this transformation. The resulting talent crunch will be a significant obstacle for industries. To address this, they will need market intelligence as well as dedicated training programs to develop the required talent. This challenge calls for collaboration between academia, industry, and government at multiple levels. Without such synergy, efforts may result in empty promises rather than meaningful progress.

When the 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 Challenges How You Think About Growth 🚀 Saturday was one of those days that made us pause and rethink everything. We had Senthil Pandian, Stanford Seed visit our office, and what started as a session on scaling quickly turned into a deep dive into 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵. Some key takeaways that stuck with us: 1) Scaling isn’t just about numbers, it’s about having a 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻. 2) No one person or team can solve the biggest challenges alone. We grow when we work 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲. 3) Tech is powerful, but it’s 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿. Execution, alignment, and strategy matter just as much. 4) Learning is best when it’s 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗳𝘂𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, and this session was all of that and more. Huge thanks to the Senthil Pandian for sharing their insights and pushing us to think bigger.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 💰 𝘃𝘀. 🚩 A few years ago, a candidate told us something that stuck: "𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲." And honestly, we hear this way too often. Sure, compensation matters. But at the end of the day, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 whether you 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 to work or spend your days 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥. A great work culture makes you feel valued, trusted, and supported. Feedback isn’t just about pointing out mistakes, it helps you grow. Mental health isn’t an afterthought. Hard work gets recognized, not just expected. You work with the company, not just for it. In a toxic work culture, things look very different. Overtime becomes proof of “commitment.” Creativity takes a backseat to control. Micromanagement kills any sense of ownership. And people often check out mentally long before they actually quit. At Qrata, we don’t just match talent with startups—we help build teams that thrive. Because hiring is just the beginning. Keeping talent engaged, respected, and fulfilled is what leads to long-term success. So, real talk—would you take a higher salary in a bad work culture or a lower salary in a great one?
