Iris continues to shine as one of India’s Best Workplaces for Women

We’re thrilled to share that Iris Software has been ranked amongst India’s Top 100 Best Workplaces for Women by Great Place to Work India. This is the second time in a row, we are winning this prestigious recognition. The unwavering leadership focus, inclusive policies, and targeted initiates have fostered a strong commitment to gender parity and a diverse, inclusive culture at Iris.

In today’s dynamic business landscape, we’ve long recognized that when people feel truly supported and valued, businesses don’t just survive—they thrive. This rings especially true for women in the workplace. By fostering environments that prioritize equity, and inclusion, we empower all employees to bring their full potential to work every day.

As has been observed, even after years of progress, women’s representation has stalled at 26%, with only 16% in executive or C-level roles. However, at workplaces which endure women and try to empower them have upto 9% more positive experiences in the key areas driving retention then those in other workplaces.

Our DE&I interventions predominantly address work life balance, health & wellness, recognition, career development and building a community of women associates to collaborate, celebrate and network to support each other. Our consistent efforts have resulted in a fourfold increase in the leadership (Director +) gender ratio over the last 2 years as well as an increase in women satisfaction & engagement from 12% to 49% in the past four years.

Parental Well Being, Iris Women Achievers, Experiential Learnings and Unconscious Awareness sessions are some of our flagship offerings. We make our DE&I journey more engaging with monthly fun-filled events to network, collaborate and celebrate special occasions and days, enabling our women associates feel valued, respected & included in all aspects.

“We are honored to be recognized as the Best Place to Work for Women. this achievement reflects our commitment to fostering an inclusive culture where every voice is valued, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive” said Sharad Verma, VP and CHRO of Iris Software. He also added “Together, we are not just building a workplace: we are building a community that empowers everyone to reach their full potential.”
