up! SURGE with its themes of Evoke, Navigate & Amplify, offers a unique lens to acknowledge and recognise various roles played by women leaders.
We found it to be an excellent vector to reflect ITC's commitment towards Diversity & Inclusion and create a gender friendly and diverse workplace
Amitav Mukerji,
Head - Corporate Human Resources, ITC Limited
Bit by bit, a little becomes a lot. Last year we immersed ourselves to make gender diversity, inclusion and belonging, a common parlance at dunnhumby. Partnering with XL4W & XLRI CGEIL on up! SURGE, was a crucial stepping stone for us, as we endeavored to unlock the true potential of brilliant women leaders across India on their journey to the C-Suite
Manoj Madhusudanan,
Head - dunnhumby
up! SURGE curated by XL4W is a fantastic program that helps build capability for women leaders through a very innovative format of sessions, self-reflection & a chance to interact & get mentored by accomplished corporate leaders, up! SURGE has become an important element of our strategy & commitment to build a gender balanced workforce at mid to senior leadership levels at Kellogg India.
