In 2023, Puthran & Associates, an all-women intellectual property law firm in India, was grappling with challenges in employee retention as women employees resigned or relocated due to family commitments. Elizabeth Puthran, the firm’s founder–partner, believed strongly in her founding policy decision that P&A be an all-women team of lawyers and attorneys. Yet with the increasing departures of its employees, the firm needed to balance maintaining a women-centric workplace with ensuring operational stability and growth. While Puthran’s authentic leadership style emphasized inclusivity and talent development, she needed to consider potential policy adjustments to improve retention and employee satisfaction.
