"Equality for women in the workplace, be it in pay, representation, or respect, has made great progress in the past decades, but the journey is long, and we cannot achieve any significant results without concerted efforts by corporates." – Deepa Madhavan, Director of Enterprise and Data services at PayPal. An inspiring role model to all women, Deepa believes that gender diversity and inclusion in workplace is a must to encourage more women to join the field of tech. Further, support from existing management is essential to ensure that they receive equal pay and representation in the work environment. #equalpay #equality #women #womenempowerment #equalrights #womensupportingwomen #paypal #paypalindia
