Empowering Gender Equality in Business Sustainability: A STARA (Smart Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Algorithms)-Centric Exploration of Socio-Technological Innovation for Modern Business Environments

Technological paradigms worldwide are evolving at a breakneck pace. Workplaces are evolving, organizations are shifting, and businesses are seeking to sustain themselves based on technological development. In recent times, STARA (Smart Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Algorithms) has emerged as an all-inclusive technological framework that seems a promising benefactor for businesses to thrive through technological adoption. But business sustenance is not all about driving profits. As much as they need to be digitally ready, they are still very much human, with their existence depending on their underlying workforces. Numerous socio-cultural aspects, gender inequality being one of them, plague business sustainability. The following paper seeks to explore corporate socio-technological landscapes. It seeks to substantiate ways gender inequality can be tackled via conscious STARA adoption while holistically ushering the way for business sustainability and success.
