Women remain underrepresented in India deeptech as entry roles hit 0 to 10 percent

Many firms start teams with just 0 to 10% women

An Indeed survey finds women remain sharply underrepresented in India’s deeptech sector, with entry-level representation ranging as low as 0–10% at many firms. While job-seeking stays steady, structural hurdles limit career progression and create pay perception gaps. Employers largely agree workplace setups shape opportunity access, but few have corrected compensation—raising the need for transparent, bias-free evaluations.
