GPL's "Silent Site" initiative is aimed at fostering inclusivity and providing equal employment opportunities for individuals with speech and hearing impairments.

Launched in February 2024 and located in Maan, Hinje, Pune, the Silent Site epitomises their commitment to empowering the PWD (persons with disability) community while delivering exceptional services to their clients.

An Indian Sign Language (ISL) Translator at the site is key to the experience. The translator ensures seamless communication and facilitates meaningful interactions with GPL staff members who are speech and hearing impaired. It's a way to enable effective engagement and collaboration.

“Meeting the staff at the silent site and understanding how their experience has been amazing. With the assistance of an ISL Interpreter on site, communication flowed effortlessly. I learnt some basic signs and hope to be able to communicate with them in the future myself,” said Zoya, DEI Lead at GPL.

The Silent Site is a landmark - no pun intended! - of inclusion and diversity. It embodies Godrej Properties Limited's unshakeable commitment to creating a workplace where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
