XLRI- Xavier School of Management, in its endeavour to powering women of the nation is setting up the Centre for Gender Equality and Inclusive Leadership at Delhi-NCR campus to make a meaningful impact on the inclusion of women in economically gainful activities.

In line with this year’s theme of women’s day ‘Women in Leadership : achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world’, XLRI celebrates International Women’s Day by setting up a Centre for Gender Equality and Inclusive Leadership to promote women’s participation in economic activities and help bring more balance in the society.

XLRI as an institution has always been a pioneer in taking up various issues like Ethics, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship much before they became fashionable. The centre brings together a large group of professionally well-established alumni and industry practitioners who will collaborate with XLRI to design and deploy a wide range of interventions to transform the daily lives of Indian women.

The new centre will be led by Prof. Shreyashi Chakraborty, an Assistant Professor in the area of Organizational Behaviour at XLRI. Her primary research interests are inequalities, diversity management practices in Indian workplaces and career experiences of women employees. She had also won the Emerald Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award in the area of HRM in 2017.
