Abstract : Gender discrimination persists in the Indian workplace, affecting women across sectors despite legal safeguards. Cultural biases lead to unequal treatment, notably seen in the wage gap and occupational segregation. The glass ceiling hampers women's career progression, while maternity discrimination and sexual harassment remain prevalent issues. Societal expectations shape hiring and career paths, contributing to under-representation in decision-making roles. Limited training opportunities exacerbate the gender gap. Addressing these challenges demands a multi-pronged approach: strengthening legal implementation, promoting diversity initiatives, and challenging traditional norms. Companies must foster inclusive cultures for equitable career growth, paving the way for a diverse professional landscape in India.

Keywords : Workplace, Discrimination, Gender, Law, women.
