Since 2020, every Tata Harrier and Tata Safari SUV has been assembled, start-to-finish, from scratch, by teams staffed fully by women. At their sprawling plant in Pimpri-Chinchwad, their workforce includes close to 2,000 women, from mechanics to engineers, many coming from the remotest corners of our home state, Maharashtra. What does it take to reshape an industry as massive and traditionally male-dominated as auto manufacturing?  

In this episode, Parmesh Shahani speaks to Amrita Ganguly, Chief Diversity Officer at Tata Motors about how she champions diversity, equity, and inclusion across the Tata Group.

Amrita reveals behind-the-scenes stories of transformative initiatives at Tata Motors, the challenges of shifting mindsets, and the measurable impact of inclusive policies. She also discusses the importance of intersectionality, affirmative action, and creating opportunities for underrepresented groups in manufacturing.

Tune in to hear how Tata Motors is building workplaces that reflect the values of a progressive India, helping re-imagine the future of inclusion in corporate India.
