As the EV sector is exploding in India, can it create opportunities to increase female labor force participation? How can this transition turn out to be a Just, Inclusive, and Equitable one?
In this episode, we discuss the insights from a first-of-its kind publication on Feminizing EV Value Chains in India by OMI Foundation. Joining me today is Neha Gupta, leading Center of Clean Mobility and Aishwarya Agarwal, leading Center of Inclusive Mobility at OMI Foundation.
We dive deeper into dissecting what kind of job opportunities open up for women in the EV Value Chains in the following buckets:
1) Women on the Shop Floors
2) Women from Entry to Leadership Positions
3) Women as Commercial Drivers
4) Women as Entrepreneurs
