It’s common knowledge that women have made remarkable strides in leadership, but they still face systemic barriers that limit their ability to lead at the highest levels. India Leaders for Social Sector (ILSS) was set up in September 2017 to fill this critical gender gap. It seeks to create a learning and leadership development organisation that will help build leadership capacity for the social sector.  Since its inception, ILSS has put its best foot forward to promote the unique role of women in the social sector, remove barriers to women’s leadership, delve deeper into the narrative of leadership and, most significantly, create inclusive ecosystems for women leaders. In this episode of Unusual Suspects, two of the driving forces behind the ILSS — Anu Prasad, Founder & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Archana Ramachandran, Chief Operating Officer (COO) — explain the germinal idea behind the organisation, whose outreach has become synonymous with nation-building. Tune in.
