'When Women Work, It Boosts A Country's Literacy': Dipali Goenka At Davos
India's growth to a $5-trillion economy will not happen if women - or the "better half of the economy" - are not part of it, Dipali Goenka, the CEO of Welspun Living, has said.
Speaking to NDTV on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ms Goenka also spoke about the need for sustainability and the impact that artificial intelligence (AI) is likely to have.
Asked about her focus on the inclusion of women in the workspace and how important it has been for her at Welspun, Ms Goenka said, "The theme here, it is about data, design and empathy, and I think when I come in from the empathy and I come in from India as an economy, you are talking about the growth towards the $5 trillion GDP. It's not going to happen if the better half of the population is not part of it. Imagine that 50% is working and 50% doesn't work."
