Genpact is committed to the cause of women in leadership across a spectrum of arenas and has undertaken several initiatives to help their advancement in both the corporate sector and outside. This is Genpact’s second large CSR initiative under its Diversity & Inclusion pillar, towards driving women in leadership, after setting up the Genpact Center for Women’s Leadership, a first-of-its-kind industry-academia partnership in association with Ashoka University.
“Gender diversity and supporting women to achieve their full potential are something that we drive with everything we have here at Genpact. We’re excited to extend this to supporting women in sports – where values such as meritocracy, focus, leadership and grit reflect our own values so well. It’s a journey that we are all truly proud to be taking,” says Sasha Sanyal, SVP – Strategy and Diversity & Inclusion Leader, Genpact.

Women athletes like Saina Nehwal, Mary Kom, Deepika Kumari and Heena Sidhu have brought laurels to the country. But their biggest contribution is inspiring a new generation of women in India to believe that they can realize their potential in any sphere of life. We are confident that with Genpact’s support, we will be able to provide 100% support to many such athletes and realize the common goal of creating women leaders,” says Geet Sethi, director, Olympic Gold Quest.
