Bangalore – Prolifics, a global technology solutions provider, celebrated International Women’s Day on March 8th by felicitating their women workforce with Ikkat Silk stoles, shawls and scarves as part of their week-long campaign for International Women’s Week.
The stoles were presented by the leadership team along with the Chairman & Managing Director of Prolifics Mr. Satya Bolli and Head of Client Success, Dr Sarat Addanki. These stoles were intricately woven by local female artisans from Abhihaara, who lost their employment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prolifics actively supports its diversity and inclusion initiatives, which reflects in their strong women workforce comprising of more than 40% of their strength across all locations in India. This initiative by Prolifics is a testament to their commitment of supporting small local businesses and empowering their female workforce. This is a big step towards sustainability and responsible sourcing as they are also supporting cultural handloom and the use of eco-friendly fabric. The stoles and shawls also serve as a reminder of their contribution to the company’s growth and success.
Satya Bolli, Chairman & Managing Director, Prolifics, expressed his appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the female employees in the company. “The contribution of women to our organisation has been invaluable. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and support their growth. We recognise that diversity and inclusion are key to our success, and we remain committed to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. We will continue to prioritize the advancement of women in our organisation and beyond.”
Dr Sarat Addanki, Head of Client Success of Prolifics, highlighted the significance of this gesture towards the local female weavers. “Our support for small local businesses and women’s empowerment is not just a corporate social responsibility. It is a crucial aspect of building a more sustainable and equitable society. Our collaboration with local female weavers is an attempt to recognise their contribution to our cultural heritage and support their livelihood.”
