"We are delighted to partner with Dhir & Dhir Associates to work with them and their clients to increase gender diversity, inclusion, equality, and leadership in the workplace. As the discussion around Diversity & Inclusion has now gained global momentum, we see Indian Corporations taking a more conscious approach towards building better diversity, inclusion, and female leadership in their businesses. We are therefore extremely keen to work with organisations such as Dhir & Dhir Associates, who place a great deal of importance around the policies and standards that support these aims for their clients." said Karen Gil MBE, Co-Founder, everywoman

According to McKinsey & Company 2021 insights, it is predicted that there could be $12 Tn in additional GDP if the gender gap is narrowed by 2025, $2 Bn rise in Potential Revenue if financial inclusion efforts broaden services for black Americans and about 160Mn women may need to change jobs through 2030 to automation.
