An insightful article published in Harvard Business Review by Bhaskar Chakravorti (Dean The Fletcher School at Tufts University ) on How India Can Fix Its Employment Crisis highlights a specific need to increase the presence of women in the workforce. “In particular, small and medium enterprises can be critical in putting many such practices in place. Examples of enterprises, such as Even Cargo , the country’s first women-driven logistics and delivery company, or Farm Didi, a food startup that empowers rural women while working with self-help groups and women entrepreneurs, ought to be studied and replicated” Article in the comment.

Vasudha Foundation recently hosted an insightful webinar on 'NAVIGATING A PEOPLE-CENTRIC APPROACH IN INDIA'S SHIFT TO E-MOBILITY' featuring a diverse panel of experts working across the E-mobility value chain. 💡 Here are some key takeaways to fuel your people-centric E-mobility journey: ·      Identifying and bridging the skills gap is crucial. Designing training programs in line with industry needs and fostering employer engagement are essential to create a robust skilling ecosystem with decent job opportunities. ·      Generating demand and addressing knowledge gaps are vital for developing effective transition pathways. Targeted communication campaigns can educate stakeholders on incentives, Total Cost of Ownership and other key considerations. ·      Public transport electrification is a game-changer. E-buses offer a comfortable and safe solution, fostering a more inclusive transition. ·      Retrofitting ICE vehicles presents a lucrative opportunity for ICE players to diversify and generate new revenue streams. Investing in skilled design engineers and ground installation workforce will unlock this potential. ·      The E-mobility sector is a prime opportunity for gender mainstreaming. Community engagement, comprehensive skills development, and supportive infrastructure are key to overcoming social barriers, further onboarding more women.  ·      On-ground experiences highlight the need for safe and accessible infrastructure for women in logistics. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our esteemed panelists for their insightful contributions and to all our participants for their active engagement.

On June 29, 2024, India not only clinched the T20 World Cup but also shattered enduring stereotypes about masculinity. The players’ heartfelt expressions of joy, tears, and camaraderie on the field illustrated that men can openly convey their emotions, embody strength through vulnerability, and offer nurturing care. This victory went beyond sports, marking a significant shift towards emotional openness and inclusivity. By embracing their authentic selves, the Indian cricket team inspired many to reconsider traditional views of masculinity. This historic win not only filled the nation with pride but also encouraged a cultural movement towards greater emotional expression. #traditionalmasculinity #breakinggenderstereotypes #genderequality #vulnerability #T20WorldCup #IndianCricketTeam #cricket #genderequality

Even Cargo is back with the second edition of its initiative - ‘Mahila Rozgar Mah’ for the months of July and August 2024. The primary objective is to create awareness and encourage the recruitment, training and career advancement of women in non-traditional livelihood sectors. This initiative perfectly aligns with Even Cargo's core mission of empowering women from economically disadvantaged communities by creating opportunities for self-sufficiency and dignified employment. #WomenEmpowerment #Equality #BreakingStereotypes #EducationForAll #HealthcareAccess #GenderEquality #NewNormal #CareerAspirations #WomenInWorkforce #EmpowerWomen #GenderEqualityInWork #EqualOpportunity #FutureGenerations #DiversityInRoles #WomenLeadership #logitics #WEE #womeneconomicempowerment #mahilarozgarmah2024

Meet Kiran !! Even Cargo's story is our story, and it largely represents the story of every woman who is working hard to make a living, ensure better education for their children, and arrange for better healthcare for their family. It is also the story of women who aspire to excel in what society traditionally considers non-traditional roles, thereby making it the new norm for the next generation of women. These are women who should not have to hear, 'What you are doing is men's job.” #WomenEmpowerment #Equality #BreakingStereotypes #EducationForAll #HealthcareAccess #GenderEquality #NewNormal #CareerAspirations #WomenInWorkforce #EmpowerWomen #GenderEqualityInWork #EqualOpportunity #FutureGenerations #DiversityInRoles #WomenLeadership #logitics #WEE #womeneconomicempowerment

Sharing the highlights from a session I conducted with a group of amazing young women on non-traditional livelihood opportunities from team Even Cargo. This session was part of a 10-day long self-academy training program organized by CREA and Safai Karamchari Andolan Team. It was incredibly inspiring to engage with such enthusiastic young women, all eager to explore new avenues for earning a livelihood beyond traditional job roles. Together paving the way for a brighter and more inclusive future! #EvenCargo #Crea #SafaiKaramchariAndolan #WomenInWorkforce #InclusiveFuture
