Diversity is our Strength; Equity is what we Value; & Inclusion is our Commitment

We are an equal-opportunity workplace and an affirmative-action employer. We continue to stay committed to being an inclusive workplace and leverage the power of diversity for sustainable competitive advantage, economic growth, and societal progress; where employees from different backgrounds function without any barriers and with all opportunities to participate, develop and contribute freely and equitably.

Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) strategy starts with our people; and as a firm, we aim at going beyond the conventional foundation of people practices and great employee experience into a more conscious choice that we make, to maximize the human potential within the firm. Our DEI vision is to enable each of us to ‘Bring Your True Self to Work’ and be active allies to each other fostering this open culture of inclusion.

Diversity is an integral part of our workplace

Diversity of Thought
Diversity of Thought

At Coforge, we thrive on an expansive range of mindsets, thought processes, and perspectives that come together and create synergies that are common for all employees. We channel this diversity of thought through various forums: sessions, events, Yammer, iShare (knowledge management repository), GlobeSmart (learning platform for collaboration – globally) and Re-Ignite (a 360-degree forum to share ideas, thoughts, & knowledge).

Diversity of Culture
Diversity of Culture

Our workforce is global in nature and cultural diversity is a part of our DNA. Being a multinational company, collaborating with people from varied nationalities and cultures is business as usual. It is imperative to learn to interpret others’ behavior from their own perspective and understand how they might interpret our behavior differently because of their different perspectives.
