Inclusion in India Inc

Biz Divas in partnership with IIM Ahmedabad is organizing Research summit “Inclusion in India Inc” on 23rd January 2015 at IIM Ahmedabad campus. This Summit is a part of the first research study to understand ‘Inclusion’ specific to India which would be followed with a Research Report.

OBJECTIVE:

This Summit is a part of the first research study to understand ‘Inclusion’ specific to India. It will explore beliefs and mind-sets operating in the Indian social and corporate environment that would lead to a robust understanding of extent, issues, and way forward on ‘Inclusion’ in Indian corporates.

The study aims to look at country specific inclusion around the following dimensions of diversity:

  • Regional & Societal
  • Gender & Generational
  • Geographical
  • Differently abled

 

OUTCOME:

Inclusion as a subject can be subjective as it is based on mind sets and values. The outcome of the study is to come out with a Research report intended to give clarity on

  • A common language and definition of Inclusion and its meaning to Indian Corporates
  • An outline of associated behaviours at the workplace leading to ‘Inclusion/Non Inclusion’ from a cultural and societal context
  • A summary of Challenges faced in organizations due to non-Inclusion
  • A list of possible solutions to make Inclusion work in India
  • A best practice story list of corporates who have done commendable work in Inclusion.

STUDY PLAN:

  • Publishing of a Position Paper – 10th January 2015
  • Summit at IIM Ahmedabad –   23rd January 2015
  • Survey – 1st Feb to 15th March
  • Report Launch at I INSPIRE, Gurgaon – 17th April 2015
