Today, on Women Equality Day, three successful women tell Debarati Palit, the role gender plays in their workplace
In fact, men are more cooperative, while women can be a real hurdle. When I started I was just 29-years-old. I was always mistaken for a secretary. My leadership qualities have helped me."
Prameela Kalive
Global HR head, Zenzar
Prameela has been a working professional for the last 22 years. "It is easier to work with women because they are emotionally intelligent.
Women are emotional, yet strong and it becomes easy for men to connect with their bosses. There are different methods to drive a team.
Men prefer challenges, visibility and clarity while working and women, on the other hand, like multi-tasking, changes and ambiguity."
Madhuri Bogawat
Regional manager, Inox
"If you are good at your work it doesn't matter whether you are a man or woman. Within a year of my employment, I grew in the hierarchy.
It's very important that you know how to get work done or where to draw the line. In fact, it's more difficult for men, as they have tough men as fellow competitors.
Women are instinctive, sharper and also good at making spontaneous decisions."u00a0
