So the first Panel Discussion starts on Women Leadership. And all the panelists are… guess what… men! We have come a long way from the time when the men shied away from conferences like that. As they rightly mention, Women Leadership is a joint responsibility. Both men and women have to understand that women go through a different life track and change things accordingly. It’s about the culture! It’s people who drive the culture.
Sameer Chadha feels that just talking women will not help, it my lead to feeling of reverse discrimination. Women should not be given “fast track” but equal track, justly allowing for the fact women have a different life cycles than men.

Rajiv Gupta brings to notice that number of women in Ivy League colleges is less to start with.
