If you have a few minutes, read the latest news that was posted by John from Freeset in Kolkata, India.  If you don’t have time to read the whole thing then here are a few highlights:

  • There are continuing improvements being made with local government and other officials who had been initially confused about why a foreign company would want to set up shop in Kolkata.
  • There are currently 9 new women in training at Freeset bringing the total number of employed women up to 153.
  • Despite the economy, the women at Freeset received a 20% pay raise in April 2010. This is a company that doesn’t just talk about paying women fairly and empowering them – they’re doing it!
