Even though the country&#8217;s report card on women in top management has not been impressive, corporates are now moving with a sense of urgency. WILL (Women in Leadership) &#8211; a forum of women leaders launched at the Infosys campus last week &#8211; sought to initiate a dialogue on getting capable women leaders at the top. The participants from 40 different companies came from as diverse a function as finance, marketing, HR and legal. The forum threw up a host of initiatives like setting up a mentoring committee, research committee (for measuring the contributions of women to the bottom line), scholarships for women, amongst others. While such concerted efforts have raised the debate to a new level, companies are trying to get the balance right as well. While women constitute 40% of the top management team in HSBC, Zensar has worked hard to improve its figure, which is now at 10-15%, up from nil five years back.
