AMCHAM’s Hyderabad Chapter organized a session on ‘D&I – Demographic, Cultural & Generational Challenges’ on October 11th in Hyderabad. The meeting began with Mr. Prakash Bodla, Executive Director, Carrier HRDC, the moderator for the session, introducing panellists. The session began with Ms. Rajita Singh, Head HR, Broadridge, speaking on the demographic challenges followed by Mr. Tanay Kediyal, VP, Wells Fargo, speaking on cultural challenges while Ms. Kiranmai Pendyala, Site Director, ICE, touched on generational challenges. Though D&I commonly refers to the gender perspective, with the expanding workforce bringing in diverse groups, cultures and people of various ages, there is a generational gap that exists between the newer entrants and the existing ones. The panel discussed how policy making is not enough. The panel discussion was followed by Q&A with the audience.
