E30: Neha Bagaria - Women should flaunt their career break
Did you know that about 50% of all Indian women take a break within three years of starting work. And 80% of them cannot find a way back to work.That’s an alarming drain of women talent in the workforce right? It’s exactly this issue that I have a chat with Neha Bagaria, who started JobsForHer with the sole aim of getting women, especially mothers, to realise their potential. According to the United Nations Global Compact India study, raising women’s participation in the labour force to the same level as men can boost India’s GDP by 27%. ⠀ It was Neha's own break from her career when she became a mother that got Neha thinking about the need to fill this gap. Since its inception in 2015, JobsForHer has worked with over two million women and 7,500 companies. ⠀ A Wharton graduate, Neha has been listed in Forbes India’s 2018 W-Power Trailblazers and ‘Ten Most Impactful Women in Tech 2020’ by Analytics Insight.
