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.
