has some interesting numbers.

At the entry level,  the  male / female ratio is almost 50: 50 , but at the senior level at Infosys, women constitute less than 2 % ( and many of them will be HR and similar departments)

As mentioned,  with a female boss ” Often male employees, are not too cooperative in the team”.  So even if  you are extremely good at your work, if  you are woman employed  in any organization (however progressive it may claim to be ) , you will rarely get a fair deal.

In other sectors like engineering (infrastructure) it is worse,  engineers are expected  to spend time outdoors in the sun,  girls are told at some campus interviews ” Girls are like flowers to be kept in a vase,  if they go outside they will wilt, so please don’t sit for campus interviews”
