W2RT Programme: Empowering Women in the Technology Industry

The W2RT Programme is a transformative skilling initiative that champions the empowerment of women in the dynamic technology industry of India. With an outstanding track record of success, we have upskilled over 9,600 women in 2022 alone, catapulting over 60% of them to higher positions in their careers. This groundbreaking programme has created a thriving ecosystem of more than 130 companies, 100+ SMEs, 500+ mentors, and 34 influential women leaders, serving as role models to inspire and guide the women on their journey to success.

nasscom Global Inclusion Summit: Mainstreaming Inclusion

Through this initiative, we are proud to host the annual nasscom Global Inclusion Summit, a platform for thought-provoking and power-packed sessions aimed at mainstreaming inclusion. With each passing year, we have witnessed a growing number of organisations, thought leaders, and experts join us for a series of insightful sessions and sponsor showcases. Our reach extends beyond the technology industry, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds and geographies who share our passion for inclusion.

Promoting Disability Inclusion in the IT-BPM Industry

With a firm commitment to promoting disability inclusion in the IT-BPM industry, we have been making meaningful strides since 2010. What began as a series of dialogues aimed at sensitising companies to disability awareness has evolved into a comprehensive vertical dedicated to building a more inclusive ecosystem. Our programme works towards enabling Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to be economically empowered by including them in the workforce. We have created capability centres that help PWDs learn the necessary technical skills required to thrive in job roles within the industry.

LGBTQ+ Inclusion: Raising Awareness and Sensitivity

As a part of our efforts to create a more welcoming and supportive environment for the LGBTQ+ community, we conduct workshops that aim to raise awareness and sensitivity across our entire ecosystem. Our workshops cover a range of topics, from inclusive language to differences in sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, and sex characteristics. Our goal is to challenge and break down unconscious biases and stereotypes and to help people understand the impact of their actions on LGBTQ+ individuals in the workplace. We believe that everyone should feel valued and respected for who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

By promoting a culture of acceptance and understanding, we hope to create a more inclusive and equitable world for all.
