Biocon and Biocon Biologics, a bio-technology company, is aiming to achieve gender parity by 2030.
Affirming the same, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Founder, Biocon said the initiative was aimed to create a more inclusive and balanced workforce.
She said having more women in the workplace makes organizations better and stronger.
Shaw shared her spotlight with Rhonda Duffy, Chief Operating Officer, Seema Ahuja, Global Communications Head, Biocon Biologics and Shaw’s personal assistant Lata Sharma at an event.
She expressed her pride in the many women in the organization, many of whom are in leadership roles.
Shaw also highlighted recent changes in government regulations, such as an amendment to the Factories Act of 1948 that allows women to work night shifts at factories.
“When you talk about gender parity, it’s not just the percentage of women working in organizations. It’s about ensuring parity in pay and promotions because what you really need to see is how you promote women and get them to play bigger leadership roles,” Shaw said at the event.
