The article locates itself in current criticisms of the 'NGOization' and professionalization of women's movements in India. It is concerned with the critique of the instrumentalization of feminism in its '9 to 5ization' together with the rise of a phenomenon that is disparagingly referred to, in generational terms, as the 'career feminist'. In considering two distinct forms of activism and organizational cultures, the article troubles the dichotomy between 'passion' and 'profession' in terms of which feminist activism and identities have come to be understood in India today, in an era of neoliberal development. It uncovers points of convergence and hybridity in contemporary feminist practice
