In order to improve gender diversity, many Indian IT companies are planning to add more female employees to their workforce mix.

At the time when the participation of women in the Indian workforce has gone down to almost 16%, big IT firms such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro and HCL Technologies are apparently planning to hire over 60,000 women techies from the campuses this year.

Recently, the Noida-headquartered IT firm, HCL Technologies announced that as much as 60% of new employees hired from campuses this year would be women.
