Be it sports, entertainment, health, or food, women have continually proved their excellence in each and every industry out there. However, there still exists a social stigma attached to women working in the automotive engineering industry.

We got the chance to have a word with Ms. Deepti Sengupta, Deputy General Manager, Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI). Ms. Sengupta is an accomplished leader with over 20 years of experience in the automotive and consumer electronics domain. We asked her a few questions regarding the role of women in the automotive engineering industry- a space that is typically associated with male employees.
