The IWEI comes two years after the Supreme Court’s landmark reading down of Section 377. Hotelier-activist Keshav Suri through his non-profit Keshav Suri Foundation, partnered with Pride Circle, Stonewall UK and FICCI, to bring the IWEI to India Inc.
The index measures nine areas: policies and benefits, employee lifecycle, employee network group, allies and role models, senior leadership, monitoring, procurement, community engagement and additional work.
Twenty-one firms won under the gold category, while 18 were placed under silver and 13 got bronze.
