Here are the updates in ongoing DEI initiatives at Godrej Capital in the year 2025-26.
Pride Capital
Pride Capital was launched in 2024 as a focused initiative to build a strong foundation for LGBTQIA+ representation across Godrej Capital. In 2024-25, the Pride Capital Hiring Drive’s second edition resulted in the hiring of ten LGBTQIA+ professionals into frontline roles: a successful stint! Here are the updates in ongoing DEI initiatives at Godrej Capital in the year 2025-26.
This milestone marks a significant step in our inclusion journey, bringing frontline representation within our LGBTQIA+ workforce to 50% of our total LGBTQIA+ employee base.
This year, Pride Capital also marked the launch of the Qnity ERG, and street play initiatives with Transformis, at our Delhi and Bangalore branch offices.
As part of this year’s Pride Month celebrations, we also unveiled a vibrant wall mural at our new Kanjurmarg office, created in collaboration with the Aravani Art Project.
BeYou Internship Programme
Our internship programme continues to strengthen inclusive early-career talent pipelines. This year, we selected nine interns, doubling our intake from last year.
Designed for persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals individuals, and women returning to the workforce, the programme enables interns to contribute to live business assignments across functions such as technology, HR, analytics, and operations.
Over time, the BeYou Internship Programme has shown an excellent conversion rate of 50%, reinforcing its effectiveness as a sustainable pathway to long-term employment.
Included 3.0 and Enable Inclusion
Included 3.0 hosted eleven sessions on critical topics such as diversity, micro- aggressions, bias awareness, and creating an inclusive workplace.
The Enable Inclusion Program seeks to strengthen disability inclusion, and build awareness across the organisation. The program was conducted across ten offices, including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, NCR, Jaipur, and Thane, Mumbai, and reached over 1,000 employees.
Enable ERG
The Enable ERG was created to champion accessibility, inclusion, and empowerment for employees with disabilities across the organisation.
Over the past two years, it has grown into a trusted platform where employees can share experiences, provide insights, and influence positive change.
This year, the Enable ERG completed two years, fostering a strong sense of belonging and providing suggestions and recommendations that have helped make processes and systems more accessible.
For this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), we celebrated with Enable Dialogue, a series of leadership sessions and interactive workshops focused on communication, self-care, and everyday inclusion.
The event concluded with a team dinner, reinforcing our collective commitment to disability inclusion and creating opportunities for learning, connection, and shared understanding across the organisation.
Aarohi
Aarohi completed one year of sustained impact, serving 2,000+ women customers with cumulative bookings exceeding ₹1,500 Cr.
This enabled access to affordable, dignified finance for women entrepreneurs and homeowners. The program achieved 12% women representation among channel partners, significantly exceeding the 8% target for the year.
Through Aarohi Speed Mentoring for L1 women in both support and frontline functions, our colleagues were connected with senior industry leaders to strengthen career clarity and growth readiness.
We achieved 90% participation across head office (HO) and the South region.
The WISE ‘Women In Sales Excellence’ intervention focused on developing women in frontline sales and helping them succeed in their role to build careers in this field.
Focusing on early-career capability building for women in finance, we also launched a four-day immersive Trailblaze AHF Bootcamp for women campus relationship managers.
The bootcamp sought to equip them with a deep functional understanding of financial services and housing finance, and accelerating readiness for frontline roles.
We also factored in community-led impact beyond our workplaces, and achieved 97% engagement of Women-on-Boards (WOBs) via 15 structured touchpoints.
We also initiated credit support through a revolving fund for nano and micro women-led businesses.
