Bengaluru, October 31, 2018 : In an effort to recognize the contributions of Indegene toward building sustainable careers for women, AVTAR Group & Working Mother Media has listed Indegene as part of the 2018 - 100 Best Companies for Women in India (BCWI). Currently, in its third edition, the BCWI study aims to recognize and bring into focus the sustained initiatives undertaken by companies to increase women's workforce participation.
"It is a matter of immense pride for us to be in the Top 100 Working Mother and Avatar BCWI 2018 listing. We are humbled and attribute this to our inclusive, non-discriminatory, employee-oriented practices that have enabled, encouraged, and empowered our women colleagues work in a progressive environment to reach their potential," said Ms. Bina Patil, Vice president HR, Indegene.Dr. Saundarya Rajesh, Founder, President, AVTAR Group stated, "Over the past 3 editions of the Best Companies for Women in India initiative (BCWI) - 2016, 2017, and 2018, BCWI has given the much-needed momentum to corporate India's conviction in gender inclusion. The 2018 BCWI data tells us just that - invest in women, they will leave you less. But, as we collectively move towards the elusive goal of gender balance, there is room to do more, add more. Women hiring has seen a dip between 2017 and 2018; at mid-management levels, men continue to be more likely to be promoted. Consistent focus to ensure osmotic reach of the inclusion intent is the way to go."
