Samvaad is aimed at fostering open conversations and sharing of experiences among women employees. The primary objective of launching this initiative was to help identify and address potential challenges which cause women to move towards making an exit from an organisation.

Part of Samvaad includes personalised one-on-one in-person or virtual sessions led by DEI SPOCs, during which women are encouraged to share their journey highlights, challenges, and concerns emerging in the workplace. These discussions are held in complete confidentiality. We also link some conversations to our WeforShe initiative to help bridge an employee’s career trajectory towards accessing opportunities for leadership roles. Insights are used to provide immediate recommendations to Business HR and CoE Teams, and help in ensuring that we continue to build a supportive and inclusive work environment for women.
