We are committed to nurturing an inclusive environment for a diverse pool of talent with equal access to opportunities within the organization. We at Birlasoft recognize, reward, and nurture talent who drive progress and believe in being the power of DEI.
Strategic Pillars:- Coexistence | Collaborate | Considerate | Care
With a focus to create a workplace where everyone feels included, valued, and can thrive in a bias free environment, we have curated policies, procedures, initiatives, and ERG groups. We readily integrate diversity and inclusion strategies in recruitment, performance management, training and other processes to continually strengthen the inclusive environment. Inclusion is at the heart of all Diversity initiatives.
We believe in empowering not just one gender but create a workplace that supports the ‘Coexistence’ where we all ‘Collaborate’ while being ‘Considerate’ to differences in working styles but also ‘Caring’ for the special needs.
We have a dedicated council(encompassing 11 Members and an Executive Sponsor) consisting of leaders from across the organisation with the responsibility of leading, sponsoring, and promoting DEI and transforming Birlasoft into an inclusive workplace while promoting diversity and nurturing talent across diverse groups. The DEI Council is critical in developing the overall strategy, finalising key initiatives, and tracking progress towards goals and outcomes.
We have a DEI Charter with three focus areas :- Affirmative Hiring | Sensitization for Culture building | Development & Retention

A diverse culture ensures we have attracted the best talent and helps us build innovative solutions for our clients. We believe in understanding the requisites and creating specific solutions that enable teams to deliver better results with mutual understanding and respect.
