Best Organisations
for Women 2024
- 21st March 2024
- Hotel Sahara Star, Mumbai
Overview
“There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise.” – Bosa Sebel
In today’s dynamic corporate landscape, organizations must prioritize amplifying the voices of their female employees. An actively supportive workplace not only empowers women but also strengthens the organization itself. Often, women feel unheard, leading to their exclusion from crucial decision-making processes.
Contrastingly, standout workplaces showcase environments where women feel valued, heard, and integral to the decision-making fabric. While strides have been made in female workforce representation, there’s a collective call for further enhancement. Corporate leaders bear a significant responsibility to adapt to evolving workplace dynamics and institute progressive policies. These policies should empower all employees, irrespective of gender, fostering an environment where women not only survive but thrive.
Join us in exploring and celebrating organizations that are not just breaking barriers but actively shaping a future where every voice, especially that of a woman, is not just heard but profoundly respected.”

Coffee Table Book
As we commemorate Women’s Day, we are delighted to announce the fourth edition of Best Organisations for Women. This edition will spotlight and commend companies that have taken significant strides, establishing a new standard for diversity and inclusion in Corporate India. The conclave aims to recognize organizations that not only champion the best workplace culture for women but also empower female employees, fostering a commitment to gender equality in the workplace.
During the event, we will share success stories and applaud companies that embody fairness within their organizational DNA, emphasizing equity, impartiality, and a commitment to non-discrimination. These companies stand out for providing an environment conducive to growth, offering equal training and development opportunities for women, thereby enhancing their representation across leadership roles.
