Abstract

In this research project, we will study the female representation in the company board and their impact upon the overall performance of the company. India has ranked very low in the female-to-male ratio of the workforce in the corporate sector in the past few years. This made it crucial to include provisions in the company laws regarding the appointment of women directors. However, this provision was restricted only to certain classes of companies. Moreover, there were many companies that did not comply with such provisions. The companies which did were mostly found to be appointing their family members to the board and that too, not in positions that required a certain degree of expertise. These loopholes make the whole purpose behind introducing such feministic concepts meaningless and renders them ineffective. In this research project, we will analyse in detail how this situation can be improved
