MG Motor is one of the few companies who is giving its preference to hire women sales leaders for its dealerships. The automobile domain has, until now, been the bastion of men, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Even in the total work force of the company, female employees already account for 31 percent and it plans to further increase the number of women hires in the future.
