At LTIMindtree, we firmly believe that diversity is not just a buzzword but a key driver for success. By fostering an inclusive environment, we’re embracing diversity and accelerating our journey toward a more equitable future.
We are committed to creating an environment of inclusion through a holistic focus on the following:
Workforce: We value the uniqueness of our employees and strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered.
Workplace: We aim to create a sustainable and inclusive environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and mutual respect.
World: We extend our commitment to inclusion beyond our organization, focusing on our customers, partners, vendors, and communities that we interact with.
Inclusion, for us, translates into Respect, Belongingness, Empowerment, and Progress for all.
Our DEI efforts are focused on five key areas:
These areas form the core of our commitment which extends to our workforce, workplace, and the world, including our customers, partners, vendors, and communities.
In Harmony - DEI at LTIMindtree
The DEI identifier is a symbolic representation of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at LTIMindtree and serves as a reminder of our commitment to creating an organization where diverse people come together ‘In Harmony.’
The ideal corporate world would not really require a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion function as everybody would have come from equal opportunities. However, historically and societally, different groups of people have significant advantages compared to others.
The DEI function looks at building bridges, starting conversations, and developing programs and initiatives that will bring in equity, sensitize, create awareness and empower all sections.
Creating Awareness
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Microsite
Our DEI microsite is a one-stop platform that contains all information pertaining to DEI at LTIMindtree. Updated constantly, the microsite provides information on DEI initiatives and event coverage across the organization.
Virtual Learning
A blend of structured and informal learning available to all LTIMindtree Associates on our internal learning portal.
- Curated videos and articles
- Structured learning courses
- Covering the themes of inclusion, women, disability, LGBTQ+, unconscious bias etc.
Unconscious Bias Programs
We are all subject to unconscious bias on a daily basis. This is common to everybody and is our normal mechanism of coping with the over-abundance of information available. Our brain makes quick connections and inferences, and if we are not careful, it can lead to a bias at the workplace, which can lead to an unhealthy work environment.
Bias based on gender, conformity, affinity, and attractiveness are common. Understanding these biases and creating awareness allows us to respond meaningfully, rather than react instinctively. At LTIMindtree, this training is encouraged for all, including first-time managers and senior leaders.
Women on the Rise
At LTIMindtree, we are fortunate to have a significant number of women as part of our workforce, which has been a contributing factor in terms of our resilience, innovation and business success. Gender diversity is a moral and business imperative, and the advancement of women is a top organizational priority. In line with this, we have several policies in place that aim at holistically engaging and developing the careers of women at LTIMindtree, enabling them to thrive in the workplace.
Athena - The Goddess of Wisdom, War and Crafts
Athena is the community for all women at LTIMindtree, which reflects their indomitable spirit, intelligence, understanding and creativity, as they progress in their chosen field.
We also have focussed communities such as Women In Tech, DIWA (Women in Data & Analytics) and the Champion Network (Canada).
Focused Programs
LTIMindtree believes in being an equal opportunity employer. Diversity initiatives and programs focus on promoting values and inclusion among employees at the workplace.
There are several initiatives at LTIMindtree that promote a gender sensitive and inclusive work environment. These initiatives aim at having a significant impact and address needs that are specific to the development, engagement, growth and retention of women. They also promote a workplace culture where every woman feels valued, heard and fully involved with the company.
Nurturing Women Leaders
The increase in women representation in leadership positions continues to be a key focus area at LTIMindtree. Our programs are designed to gain insight, skills and exposure to develop leadership skills, apart from helping identify challenges and opportunities for women to grow and expand their outlook. They provide a valuable opportunity for visibility, professional development, networking and cross-functional exposure for women looking to advance their careers.
Early Career Initiatives
To enable women to look at technology as a long-term career, at LTIMindtree, there is a focus on continual skilling to enable them to keep abreast of the changing technology landscape. While technology skilling is very important, life skills coaching is equally necessary to help women succeed.
Many women in tech still find barriers to success and feel the need to compromise on their career aspirations, due to which, many choose to drop out of the workforce. Their choices are constrained by marriage, domestic responsibilities, distance, maternity, mobility and other societal reasons. This program at LTIMindtree is targeted at women who are at early to mid-career levels. Our initiative, supplemented by coaching, helps women make the right choices with confidence, conviction and clarity to succeed at the workplace.
Mentoring Initiatives
As we grow in our professional careers, a mentor is a valuable guide who helps us grow our skills, make better decisions and gain new perspectives – someone who helps bring out the best in us.
We have a structured mentoring program for high potential women in mid management roles. Mentoring is a very valuable asset for growing, both professionally and personally. With the right ear to listen, and the right person to show us a different viewpoint, we discover the answers are often within us – we just need a little help to uncover them and make them our own.
Women Wednesdays
Women Wednesdays is a unique initiative where we invite women leaders from within our organization, our customers and industry experts to share the stage at LTIMindtree. Through their life journeys and experiences, these leaders stand out as role models to other women, help break gender bias and provide unique insights and tips to help women advance in their professional careers.

We conduct regular workshops on different topics of Disability such as ‘Wired Differently’, a workshop to bring awareness of neurodiversity across the organization.

We also conduct workshops aimed at fostering understanding and inclusion for individuals with disabilities, covering the correct terminology to use and best practices in inclusion.
Nurturing LGBTQ+ Inclusion
In line with our ethos of being an equal opportunity employer, LTIMindtree has always practiced a non-discriminatory approach that respects and values each LTIMindtree employee, irrespective of their gender identity, expression or orientation.
