Vedanta is realising women power! To increase women headcount in key roles by 15%

In a male dominated sector, Vedanta is leading by example by employing women in key areas that too at leadership levels.
Vendanta’ Odisha unit has an all-women team who are in-charge of metals and mining projects.
Many women in Vendanta have gotten into revenue generating functions and have contributed immensely to the company’s growth story.
Vendanta’s Anil Agarwal said he was proud to have, arguably, the highest number of women in senior management as benchmarked against its peers.
Saundarya Rajesh, founder president of AVTAR Career Creators & FLEXI Careers India, told ET, "The business case for gender inclusion has long been proven...the sheer fact that a leader like Vedanta is saying that this is possible will itself send out a strong signal."
A slew of research reports, including one from UNDP, show a direct correlation between greater gender diversity and higher GDP.
Reportedly, women make up 5% of Vedanta's top management, 9% of senior management and about 10% at other levels.
It is said that Vendanta will increase this number to 15% over next two years.
"When hiring for leadership roles, our mandate to search firms is to focus on giving us a balanced slate of talent, which includes a good number of women candidates," Madhu Srivastava, head of talent acquisition at Vedanta, told ET.
