Ice Cream Industry Pioneers Gender Inclusion in South India

Ice Cream Industry Pioneers Gender Inclusion in South India

In a quiet Indian town, an ice cream factory is making waves by hiring mostly women from nearby villages.

This is rare in India's manufacturing sector, where women make up less than 20% of the workforce.

The factory's founders say it's good for business and the community, as women become primary earners and send their children to school.

Experts think this could be a model for other industries.
