Gender equality matters because women can bring money home which empowers them financially and socially. If women have a bigger say in how household money is spent this can ensure more of it is spent on education of children, health of elderly and on things which result in better outcomes for the family growth. This will require addressing multiple barriers to gender equality among families, job and product markets. Overall increase in participation of women in workforce will require addressing multiple and reinforcing barriers to equality among families, job and product markets. It can be said that IT industry has given justice to urban educated women and has been far more gender inclusive than any other sector of the economy. It has certainly given quality employment to women in large numbers. Of late, there have been less complaints of gender discrimination and women seem to have been breaking the glass ceiling also. Women who are still facing problems in this sector are mainly due to patriarchal mindset of people at home and in the society rather than at workplace.  

KEY WORDS: Gender equality, Gender Inclusion, IT industry, Women Empowerment
