Focused programs have been rolled out to combat this issue, making training mandatory for managers.
In 2023-24, over 800 team members, including managers, received training in Sign Language, while more than 500 employees were sensitized to inclusivity topics. PwD are now part of the hiring program for both manufacturing and executive roles.
With over 35% of employees from diverse regions, TVS Motor Company caters to generational and regional needs through its canteen facilities. The company aims to raise PwD representation to 5% and overall diversity, including women, to 25% by 2025, demonstrating a strong commitment to agility, innovation, and employee well-being.
