Tech Mahindra, a leading provider of digital transformation, consulting, and business re-engineering services and solutions, today announced that it has been included in Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the fourth consecutive year. Tech Mahindra is amongst the 8 Indian organizations to be included in 2023 Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index (GEI). The 2023 GEI reaches globally to represent 45 countries and regions, including firms headquartered in Luxembourg, Ecuador, and Kuwait for the first time. Member companies represent a variety of sectors, including financials, technology, and utilities, which continue to have the highest company representation in the index from 2022.
As part of this report, 484 companies are included in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index(GEI), a modified market capitalization-weighted index developed to gauge the performance of public companies dedicated to reporting gender-related data. This reference index measures gender equality across five pillars: leadership & talent pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand. Tech Mahindra is included in the 2023 list for scoring at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies.
