There are fewer women in senior leadership positions and few pursue entrepreneurship as women often let their career aspirations take a back seat for family commitments, said Smita Deorah, co-founder & co-CEO of edtech unicorn LEAD, in an interview for DealStreetAsia’s latest report on the gender funding gap in India.
Deorah added that the scenario has changed a lot in the past 10 years, as couples are playing more equitable roles at home, and women are being more vocal about their personal aspirations.
