24 out of 50 companies do not have a single woman on their leadership team while only 3 companies have more than 3 women in their leadership teams
Leena Chakrabarti, founder of myrna labs, mentioned “there is no denying that SEBI directed compulsion of having one woman independent director on boards (for the top 500 listed companies) by April 01, 2019 helped make space for women on boards. But progress on achieving gender balance is stunted to say the least. We see this as soon as we expand focus to leadership teams. With an overall gender balance of just 6% on the leadership team, and the fact that almost half of the NIFTY50 companies still don’t have one woman in their leadership teams, India Inc’s top brass has a lot of ground to cover.”
Measuring precedes managing. Unfortunately this is a critical gap in the conversation on gender equality, especially in the Indian context. Rhetoric to a significant extent dominates the discourse and data when available is mostly sketchy, anecdotal at best. The ML Scorecards use the proprietary GBS scoring toolkit comprising a set of 25 defined attributes to track performance and progress on gender balance within a firm and its ecosystem
Methodology
For the ML Top tier gender balance scorecard of NIFTY50 companies, all 50 companies that feature in the NIFTY50 Index were analysed & ranked on the basis of the gender balance of their top tier team. The top tier gender balance scorecard gives the leadership team a 65% weightage & a 35% weight to board of directors while calculating the overall top tier ranking.
