RUDRANI GUPTA On Feminist Entrepreneurship and Reclaiming the Workplace

What if the fight for gender equality didn’t just belong in policy debates—but in boardrooms, breakrooms, and startup ecosystems?

In this episode of the Exitfund Podcast, we talk with Rudrani Gupta—writer, journalist, and outspoken advocate for gender justice—about the intersection of patriarchy, entrepreneurship, and workplace equity. From small-town silence to national discourse, Rudrani shares how cultural norms still shape women’s access to opportunity—and how entrepreneurship is helping them reclaim it.

We dive deep into:

• The hidden barriers women face at home and in the workplace

• Why inclusion must go beyond hiring to create real safety and equity

• The role of informal and grassroots entrepreneurship in rural empowerment

• How cultural conditioning affects women's career choices and confidence

• Lessons from Bleeding Bangles, Rudrani’s book on feminist resistance and voice

• What an ideal, gender-equal workplace should look like—and how to build one
