Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the status of executives in Mumbai based on primary data. Post-positivism is followed epistemologically. The findings of the study are based on the empirical survey conducted in 22 industries where 560 managerial executives from different levels of management have participated. The participants of the study are employed in a variety of industries including Banking, Pharmaceuticals, IT, Finance, Engineering, Jewellery, Telecom, Chemical & Fertilizer, Shipping & Logistics, Construction, Insurance, Chemicals, Power, Steel, Media, Automobile, Textile, Petrochemical/Oil & Gas, Cement, Paints, Aviation and Glass. The study has been conducted in both Private and Public organisations operating in service and manufacturing sectors. Here, both men and women executives are considered to understand the barriers faced by women executives through the lenses of executives across the gender. It also discusses demographic profile, personal profile, organisational profile, work profile and social profile that may impact the career growth of women executives. This chapter is based on two unpublished works of authors. One is doctoral thesis of Sanskruti Kadam and another is a research report on women in management done by Samapti Guha sponsored by ICSSR, India.
