Our colleagues working on Baramati’s shop floor handle operations including but not limited to, production, storage, quality assurance, and logistics. 

Over the past three years, our Animal Feed business has achieved remarkable milestones in the journey towards a more representative and inclusive workplace. Starting with just three women employees in FY 2022-23, the number grew to 25 in FY 2023-24, and further increased to 30 in FY 2024-25. This growth underscores our unwavering commitment to providing opportunities for women to succeed in non-traditional roles. 

In FY 2024, we crossed new milestones by hiring our first woman employee in the Finance department as well as hiring women employees in blue-collar production roles for the first time.  

We also established a Microbiology Lab that is led by a Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) woman employee. Building on the success of our initial shift for women, we have introduced second and night shifts. We reinforced the change with essential support structures and safety infrastructure, including but not limited to training programmes, reliable transportation facilities, and targeted initiatives. 

Taking inspiration from the Animal Feed Baramati All Women Factory’s progress in building, we have hired our first woman Regional Production Head and first woman Factory Lead in the Animal Feed south region.
