It’s hard to believe fewer Indian women are working now than fifteen years ago. But it’s true — and Namita Bhandare was one of the first journalists to shine a light on this mind-boggling fact. If you’re left wondering what, how, or why — this episode will examine the big picture of what impacts women in the workforce, what’s changed, and why this decline is happening. With special guest Namita Bhandare: Namita is an award-winning journalist and all-round amazing personality, with nearly 30 years of reporting experience. In 2013, she broke new boundaries by becoming India’s first gender editor for Mint. She now writes on gender for The Hindustan Times, Mint, IndiaSpend, and Foreign Policy. MORE TO READ.
