Great to see these numbers! Though I wonder if these salary ranges are consistent across all Indian cities or mostly concentrated in tech hubs like Bangalore/Hyderabad?

While this is positive news, we shouldn't overlook that many women still face workplace challenges. Companies need to ensure proper support systems are in place beyond just hiring.

Cybersecurity is such an exciting field! I switched from HR to infosec last year and it's been the best decision of my career. More women should consider this path 🔒

The salary ranges seem a bit optimistic for most companies outside FAANG. Would be helpful to see median figures rather than top ranges to get a realistic picture.
