The role of women in management positions in India has been a topic of growing interest in recent years. This qualitative research
paper aims to explore the current position of women in management roles in contemporary India, identify the existing research gap,
and conduct a comprehensive literature review of various blind-peer reviewed, peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and books to
understand the challenges and opportunities faced by women in leadership positions. The present narrative-based study will also delve
into the factors affecting women’s career progression and the strategies implemented to promote gender diversity in the corporate
sector in contemporary India. The interviews or first-hand experiences will also be included as available on various web sources to get a
fair idea of the role and position of women at the higher administrative levels in India. The research will also try to focus on the various
issues and problems faced by women taking higher management roles in some reputed firms in India to see how people take women
as their administrators and how they respond to them.
