Bengaluru Retains No. 1 Spot as the Top City for Women in India
Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai: Top 5 cities for women Many cities show strength in either social or industrial inclusion, not both Tier-2 cities rise as women-friendly urban ecosystems expand Gurugram emerges as the only north Indian city in the Top 10 of Indias Top Cities for Women, climbs to No. 6 from No. 9 last year Five cities from south Indian states feature in the Top 10 of Indias Top Cities for women Avtar Group, Indias leading workplace culture consulting firm, released the fourth edition of its annual, nation-wide study Top Cities for Women in India (TCWI).The TCWI report presents a longitudinal inclusivity index that tracks how Indian cities enable womens participation, safety, and career growth/continuity, while identifying role-model cities and emerging best practices. It also offers a structured framework for organisations, policymakers and urban stakeholders to enable womens workforce participation and career growth. Dr. Saundarya Rajesh, Managing Director, Avtar Group The Top 10 Cities for Women in India in 2025 are: Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Gurugram, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Coimbatore The 2025 edition of the study covers 125 cities and draws comparisons from its previous editions (from 2022). The cities are ranked based on an overall City Inclusion Score assigned to every city, which is inferred from Avtars research and governmental data. The City Inclusion Score (CIS) is derived from two parameters: the Social Inclusion Score (SIS) and the Industrial Inclusion Score (IIS). The Social Inclusion Score is a cumulative score of four indicators. These are: city liveability, safety, womens representation in employment and womens empowerment. The Industrial Inclusion Score evaluates the extent to which organisations in the city across industries are inclusive of women and is calculated based on three indicators: The density of gender inclusive organizations; the density of women-friendly/inclusive industries in a city, and career enablers provided to women by organizations. Speaking at the release event of the reports findings, Dr Saundarya Rajesh , Managing Director of Avtar Group , said, As we mark Avtars 25th year, the fourth edition of the Top Cities for Women in India reflects both how far we have come and how much more we must do. Over the years, the TCWI study has evolved into a tool of accountability that asks a simple question: Can a woman truly thrive in this city? It measures the real ease of career and life for women, whether cities enable women to enter the workforce, stay, grow, and lead. Creating such cities requires shared responsibility. Governments, organizations, institutions, communities, and women themselves must work together to build environments that are safe, accessible, affordable, and supportive. In todays context, cities must also take a broader view of inclusion, one that considers environmental resilience, supportive infrastructure, digital readiness, intergenerational equity, and respect for diverse perspectives. When these elements come together, women thrive, thereby strengthening local economies and moving India closer to its long-term development goals. Key Findings of the Top Cities for Women in India 2025 report: Bengaluru retains its position as the top city for women in India in 2025, with a City Inclusion Score of 53.29, reflecting sustained strength in Industrial Inclusion and career enablement. Chennai follows in second position with a City Inclusion Score of 49.86, while continuing to lead on social inclusion parameters such as safety mechanisms, public services, mobility initiatives and access to health and education. Pune (46.27), Hyderabad (46.04), and Mumbai (44.49) complete the top five, demonstrating consistent performance across both social and industrial inclusion indicators. Gurugram records one of the most notable upward movements, strengthening its position in 2025 compared to 2024, supported by rapid industrial growth and strong corporate presence (Rank no. 6 in 2025 compared to No. 9 in 2024). Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida perform strongly on industrial inclusion but lag on social indicators such as safety, affordability, and mobility, reinforcing that industrial growth alone does not ensure inclusive urban environments. Thiruvananthapuram, Shimla and Tiruchirappalli demonstrate strong social inclusion outcomes but limited industrial depth, pointing to constraints in local economic mobility for women and limitations in large-scale formal employment opportunities for women despite strong social foundations. Hyderabad, Kolkata and Pune stand out for fairly balanced inclusion profiles , with strong alignment between social inclusion and industrial ecosystems, enabling sustained workforce participation for women. Mumbai shows strong industrial inclusion (with an IIS of 69.00) but relatively weaker social inclusion (with a SIS of 38.44), highlighting challenges around affordability and access to infrastructure despite abundant employment opportunities. The 2025 TCWI rankings show increased representation of Tier-2 cities among higher ranks, indicating decentralisation of women-friendly urban ecosystems. Regional analysis The Southern region emerges as the most inclusive , recording the highest scores across all three indices, with a regional average CIS of 21.60, SIS of 27.81, and an IIS of 11.61, reflecting a more integrated approach to social infrastructure, safety, health, education, and industrial participation for women. The Western region follows closely , demonstrating consistently strong performance with a regional average CIS of 20.00, SIS of 25.47, and the highest IIS among regions at 12.01, indicating relatively mature industrial ecosystems supported by enabling social conditions. Central and Eastern regions trail across both inclusion dimensions social and industrial especially industrial inclusion, with regional average IIS scores of 4.96 and 4.40, respectively. Across 20222025, cities achieving convergence between Industrial Inclusion (IIS) and Social Inclusion (SIS) consistently rank higher on overall City Inclusion (CIS) , reinforcing that industrial growth is most effective when supported by safe, accessible, and equitable urban environments. www.avtarinc.com/tcwi About Avtar Avtar, founded in 2000 by Dr Saundarya Rajesh, is one of Indias leading workplace culture consulting firms, supporting hundreds of companies in creating diverse and supportive workplaces.

Girlfriend stabs South Korean man to death after spat over drinking in Noida
In the real estate market, the biggest concern for homebuyers today is not aspiration, but assurance. This is where SKA Group stands apart, bringing certainty as a defining differentiator. By focusing on transparent processes, disciplined execution, and delivery accountability, the group addresses buyer concerns through actions rather than assurances. SKA Group's Promise of T3 Philosophy - Transparency, Timely Delivery, and Technology Over the past 15+ years, SKA Groups journey in NCR has been marked by steady progress and a focus on execution rather than rapid expansion. Its track record includes successfully delivered residential projects such as SKA Arcadia, SKA Orion, SKA Divya Towers, SKA Metro Ville, SKA Green Arch, SKARDI Greens, and SKA Green Mansion. Across projects, the group has consistently developed high-quality residential spaces aligned with evolving urban lifestyles. Design planning has become more refined over time, amenities are practical and future-ready, and sustainability is embedded into project planning rather than treated as an add-on. At the core of SKA Groups operating philosophy is T3Transparency, Timely Delivery, and Technology. This framework brings clarity and predictability to the homebuying process by allowing buyers to track progress, understand construction quality, and rely on clearly defined timelines. Transparency at SKA Group is operational and measurable. The company shares monthly construction updates for every project on its official YouTube channel, enabling customers to see exactly how their project, and even their specific tower or flat, is progressing. These regular updates provide clear visibility into construction milestones and on-ground execution, reducing uncertainty and ensuring buyers remain informed throughout the construction lifecycle. Timely Delivery remains the strongest validation of SKA Groups commitment. All completed SKA projects have been delivered at least six months before their committed RERA timelines. This consistent performance reflects disciplined project planning, controlled execution, and strict monitoring, ensuring buyers receive possession without delays or uncertainty. Further, Technology plays a central role in SKA Groups construction approach. Since its inception, the group has adopted 100% Mivan construction technology across all projects. This advanced methodology ensures uniform structural quality, significantly minimises the risk of water seepage or construction defects, and enhances earthquake resistance. Mivan construction also enables faster and more precise execution while maintaining consistency across all floors and towers. When transparency, timely delivery, and technology work together, trust becomes a natural outcome. Regular visibility into construction progress builds confidence, advanced building practices ensure long-term structural quality, and early possession reinforces reliability. Together, these elements remove ambiguity from the homebuying journey and replace it with assurance grounded in execution. The strength of SKA Groups T3 philosophy is evident across its expanding portfolio in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. Ongoing developments such as SKA Estate in Sector ETA-2, Greater Noida; SKA Destiny One in Sector Zeta I, Greater Noida; and SKA Divine in Wave City, NH-24, Ghaziabad reflect a continued focus on planned layouts, strong infrastructure, and premium residential environments. SKA Destiny One, an IGBC Gold Pre-Certified development, integrates sustainability into upscale living, while SKA Divine offers features such as EV charging and a double-height lobby, aligned with the requirements of modern urban households. At a time when buyers prioritise reassurance as much as aspiration, SKA Groups strength lies in the certainty it delivers. The T3 framework: Transparency, Timely Delivery, and Technology is not driven by market cycles, but by long-term operating principles. In an industry where credibility is built through execution, SKA Group continues to strengthen buyer trust through visibility, structural integrity, and a proven record of early delivery.
