Announcing the launch of the 4th edition of myAvatar Job Fair for Women, Dr Saundarya Rajesh, Founder – President, Avtar Group, said, “India has amongst the lowest women workforce participation rates in the world, in spite of our burgeoning economic progress. As per the data available, between 2019-20 and 2020-21, rural women's labour force participation rate (LFPR) increased from 33% to 36.5%, while urban women's LFPR fell from 23.3% to 23.2%. There has not been a significant rise in this population, a talent segment that has huge potential to contribute to the country's GDP. myAvtar's virtual job fairs exclusively for women is one of our endeavors towards creating gender-balanced workplaces. The last three editions of the job fairs saw widespread participation with many of the job seekers who attended the fairs, landing in successful careers. Our goal is to create a successful platform that leads to job creations and ultimately enable women's workforce participation.” The fair will see participation from leading companies including Providence India; Persistent Systems India; Backbase India LLP; Cargill India Pvt Ltd; Fidelity International Ltd; Tata Communications; Kellogg Brown & Root Engineering & Construction India Private Limited; Moody's Shared Services; Renault-Nissan Technology and Business Centre India Private Ltd; Johnson & Johnson Pvt Ltd; Mphasis Ltd; and Saint Gobain India Private Limited reaffirming their commitment to advancement of women's careers.
