Abstract
The study explores the current
state of gendered nature of Indian
workplaces impacting women’s
workplace experiences and career
advancement. Three Focus
Group Discussions (FGD) were
conducted with both male and female
participants to understand
their experiences and expectations
from their employers. We
found the lack of inclusive practices
to make women’s career advancement
apparent. Even the
male participants acknowledged
the prevalence of gendered issues
while challenging the masculine
mindset in India. The findings are
discussed using the framework
from the Theory of Gendered Organizations
along with theoretical
and practical implications.
