2024-07-25 · GeoSquare
Godrej Properties Ltd., a leading real estate developer in India, has launched the Pune Chapter of the Collective of Real Estate Women (C.R.E.W), a nation-wide initiative aimed at empowering women professionals in the real estate, construction, and allied sectors. The company has always been at the forefront of diversity and inclusion, boasting 31% representation of women, LGBTQ, and PWD employees, with 32% women representation seen in Pune for FY24.
The C.R.E.W initiative is envisioned as a holistic approach that goes beyond mere numbers, focusing on creating an ecosystem where women can truly thrive by addressing both functional and emotional needs. This is not confined to Godrej Properties but is envisioned as a national movement to inspire the real estate sector to prioritize gender diversity.
The launch event gathered influential leaders and professionals, marking a significant step towards advancing gender diversity and inclusion in the industry. It featured panel discussions, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities.
Megha Goel, CHRO, Godrej Properties Limited, said, 'The rationale behind launching this forum stems from all the work that we have done till now in the space and where we want to reach. We look forward to building CREW over the next few years as a thriving collective of all women in the real estate sector, especially on the construction side, which typically has not been the most attractive sector for women.'
C.R.E.W's activities are tailored to India's unique cultural and business context, addressing gender norms and biases for relevance and effectiveness. The platform promotes flexibility policies, work-life balance, and career growth to drive culture change and engage employees at all levels.
