In this section, you'll find the DEI Lab's stories about businesses, leaders and initiatives we're observing and learning from. One of the things we've learned from our own colleagues as well as the DEI ecosystem in India and around the world is that there's no way to put inclusion in the past tense: every step we take towards building a better workplace is a work in progress.
That's why our first story series is called exactly that. "Work In Progress" dives into the mechanics of why and how inclusion came to matter at some of the Indian businesses that all of us look to as beacons of diversity, equity and inclusion. We'd love to hear your ideas and feedback about our stories, so please write to us at godrejdeilab@godrejinds.com.
