Sasken recognized as a top workplace for women in India

Sasken Technologies has been honoured as one of the Best Companies for Women in India (IT) in 2024 by Avtar. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and empowering workplace.

This recognition reiterates Sasken’s commitment to creating a workplace where gender diversity thrives, and employee growth takes centre stage. The company’s dedication to employee satisfaction is reflected in its exceptional retention rates—nearly a third of its workforce has been with the company for 15 to 20 years, an impressive feat in an industry where the average tenure is just 3 to 4 years. At Sasken, employees are not merely part of the workforce; they are integral to the company’s journey toward excellence, as evidenced by the 72 patents held by its employees, particularly in embedded systems.

Sasken stands out as a fair and inclusive workplace, driven by its commitment to fairness, continuous learning, and talent development through its KenMAP framework. Partnering with Aon and Mercer, it has established robust career level definitions, proficiency frameworks, and job family structures under KenMAP. Its unique approach of offering live exposure through Advanced Capability Programs (ACPs) not only nurtures fresh talent but also contributes to the industry by discovering and developing exceptional professionals.

Deeply embedded in Sasken’s culture, KenMAP ensures that internal promotions and career advancements are based on a rigorous, transparent, and equitable process. The framework was awarded the prestigious Mercer Mettl HRedge Award for the Best Skill Transformation Initiative in the IT industry at The Economic Times’ ETHRWorld Awards.

This award reemphasizes its commitment to nurturing talent, fostering continuous learning, and creating an environment where employees thrive by consistently exceeding industry standards.

Mr. Rajiv C. Mody, CMD & CEO, Sasken Technologiesexpressed his delight, stating, “This recognition is a proud milestone for Sasken. Our goal has always been to create an environment where our employees can grow, develop, and succeed. Being named one of the Best Companies for Women in India (ITES), 2024, reaffirms our commitment to gender inclusivity, fairness, and excellence. We will continue to set new benchmarks for workplace inclusivity.”

 

Sasken’s commitment to its workforce extends beyond gender inclusivity. The company has made continuous investments in employee development through various initiatives, including training, mentorship, and leadership programs. These efforts empower employees to realize their full potential, contribute meaningfully to Sasken’s success, and build long-lasting careers.
