A recent report by TeamLease Digital indicates a notable rise in women's participation in tech roles within non-tech sectors, reaching 14% in 2024. This marks an inspiring change in traditionally male-dominated spaces, revealing gradual improvement in gender parity.

The report, based on data from 13,000 associates, unveiled that women's representation climbed from just 1.90% in 2020 to 14% in 2024. These findings underscore the shifting dynamics in India's tech contractual workforce.

Despite these gains, a closer examination shows women comprise only 3.35% in senior roles, underlining the need for targeted interventions to enhance female leadership.
