Aarambh is a nine-month traineeship programme designed to create meaningful and sustainable career opportunities for individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community and persons with disabilities. Through a carefully curated learning journey, Aarambh integrates hands-on work experience, structured capability building, and mentorship from Godrej leaders. In its pilot cohort, GCPL identified key business functions, including the Global Excellence Centre (GEC) Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, and Creative. Three trainees joined across these functions, gaining end-to-end exposure to business operations, stakeholder engagement, and project delivery. Projects were designed to leverage trainees’ existing strengths, while building essential workplace capabilities required for full-time roles at GCPL. One trainee has successfully been converted to a full-time employee.
