India's Under-40 Business Leaders Dominated by Men

A new report shows that only 8% of the top business leaders in India who are under 40 years old are women.

Out of 436 entrepreneurs, only 36 are women.

This shows a big difference between men and women in business.

The report also says that most of these entrepreneurs started their own businesses, not inherited them.

The biggest group of entrepreneurs comes from Bangalore, and many of them studied at top engineering schools like IIT.

The most common type of business is in software.

The youngest woman on the list is 36 years old and works in solar energy.

The youngest entrepreneur overall is also 36 years old and works in energy technology.

These entrepreneurs lead companies worth a lot of money, almost one-eleventh of India's total economy.

The report was made by Avendus Wealth and Hurun India.
