Over the past few weeks seven Indian men were interviewed about their perceptions, understandings, and even barriers to feminism. They were chosen because their work either directly or indirectly correlates with helping Indian women gain opportunity and equality. Though their work and views vary, they each impact women and society at large. In their own ways they dismantle systems and build platforms for women. To add value to their previously shared insights and to show appreciation for their work, Shenomics presents #HeforShe.

Male feminism in India is, unsurprisingly, as diverse and nuanced a movement as the country itself.
