Top Cities for Women in India 2026

How safe and inclusive is your city for women?

The Top Cities for Women in India (TCWI) study, conducted by Avtar, India’s leading workplace culture consulting and inclusion solution firm, seeks to answer this critical question by evaluating cities on their ability to empower women through safety, employment opportunities, and quality of life.

Since 2022, this comprehensive survey has been shedding light on which cities are leading the way in gender inclusivity, aiming to drive meaningful change across urban India. By highlighting the top cities for women, we hope to inspire actions that create safer, more inclusive spaces for all.
