Abstract

Women’s representation in the boardroom refers to the proportion of women serving as directors in corporate governance structures. A recent study shows that women held around 21% of board seats in NSE-listed companies (IMPR). Despite gradual progress, women remain underrepresented globally. The study was conducted to examine the impact of gender diversity particularly in leadership and board position in Nifty Automobile Index. The study covers data of 5 years ranging from 2020-2021 to 2024-2025. The finding didn’t give clear evidence that female board members affect the financial performance of the firm.
