International Women’s Day 2024 | Breaking Barriers: Women leaders pioneering sustainability in manufacturing industries – Sustainability News

In recent years, there has been a notable shift in the landscape of leadership within India’s manufacturing sector. Traditionally perceived as a male-dominated industry, manufacturing is witnessing a significant influx of women leaders who are not only challenging stereotypes but also spearheading sustainability initiatives with remarkable zeal and determination.

Women leaders in India are increasingly taking on prominent roles in the manufacturing sector, leveraging their expertise, innovative thinking, and passion for sustainability to drive meaningful change. These trailblazing women are not only breaking barriers but also reshaping the industry’s approach towards environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility.
