PhonePe has pledged to increase female representation in senior-most leadership roles - Directors and Vice Presidents from 16 per cent to 25 per cent by December 2021.
The homegrown digital payments platform has announced its Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) charter, with the first phase focusing on gender, sexual orientation and people with disability, identifying specific actions in each of these areas.
As part of this, the company has taken on a numerical goal for gender at the senior level.
Apart from this, for the LGBTQ community, PhonePe’s initial focus will be on creating spaces for conversation and awareness. It will also focus on reviewing policies, processes and systems to be more inclusive. The company is also reviewing its current roles, policy framework and infrastructure to enable people with disabilities to be a larger part of the organisation.
