About the Conference

Vision Viksit Bharat@2047 represents the government of India's ambitious vision to transform the nation into a developed entity by the centenary of its independence in 2047, encompassing diverse facets of development such as economic prosperity, social advancement, environmental sustainability, and effective governance. This vision underscores the critical juncture at which India currently stands. As India envisions its transformation into a developed nation by 2047, achieving this goal requires the full and equal participation of all its citizens. However, one of the most significant obstacles in this journey is the persistent "glass ceiling" that many women face in the workforce. Women’s contributions are critical to advancing sectors such as technology, politics, and economics—each a pillar of a "Viksit Bharat." Addressing the glass ceiling is not just about promoting gender equity but about unlocking the full potential of the nation by allowing women to lead, innovate, and contribute fully to India’s socio-economic and cultural evolution. This conference Theme "Glass Ceiling Effect & Career Progression in India: Hindrances and Enablers" is a vital platform for addressing one of the most pressing challenges in the workplace today. In India, although women are entering the workforce in greater numbers, they face unique and persistent barriers in their journey toward leadership roles. The "Glass Ceiling Effect" represents a profound structural limitation that restricts women’s upward mobility, affecting not only individual careers but also the broader economy and societal progress. This conference brings together thought leaders, industry experts, researchers, academicians, and advocates to shed light on these challenges, share cutting-edge research, and discuss practical solutions. By fostering a collaborative environment, this event aims to drive actionable strategies for breaking these barriers, empowering women in leadership, and advancing gender equity in Indian workplaces. Attendees will leave with insights and tools to support initiatives for inclusive growth, ultimately contributing to a more balanced and dynamic professional landscape. The conference promises to be a transformative experience for those committed to creating pathways that empower women to break through the glass ceiling, paving the way for a fairer and more vibrant professional landscape.
