Goyal declined to comment on the results of the US presidential election, emphasizing that the political landscape in India is different from other countries.

“I can’t comment on voters in the US. We should be proud that women voters got the right to vote as soon as India became independent. So much so that women are now hugely represented in politics. At the Business Today MPW event in Mumbai, Goyal said, “Respect for our women “We have a rich heritage in this field,” he said.

He was speaking at a session on Leadership, Progress and the role of Women in Democracy, moderated by Business Today Executive Director Rahul Kanwal; News Director, India Today and Aaj Tak.

Goyal added that women in India are doing extraordinary work by leading many fronts. “We must learn to multitask like women. What and how they manage so many fronts is truly remarkable. They take care of work, family and children. They instill values ​​and traditional systems in the younger generations. No amount of money can justify the work they do.”
