Hyderabad has ranked in the fifth spot in the ‘Top Cities for Women in India 2023’ index, released by the Avatar group, an advocate for diversity and workplace inclusion.
The index, which has a sample size of 1,200 people, assesses cities in two categories, those with a population of over a million and those with less than a million people, based on their City Inclusion Score (CIS). The CIS incorporates the Industrial Inclusion Score (IIS), Social Inclusion Score (SIS), and Citizen Experience Score (CES).
The IIS focuses on enablers from organisational and industrial perspectives, while the SIS considers factors such as safety, transportation facilities, women empowerment schemes, and city-specific parameters. The CES is derived from an open survey.
