Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), a leading emerging markets FMCG company, celebrated the contributions of women across its South region manufacturing units—Pondicherry, Karaikal, and Chengalpattu —as part of its flagship initiative Godrej Ki Shakti. This South India regional chapter reaffirms GCPL’s ongoing commitment to gender inclusion and equitable representation in traditionally male-dominated fields like manufacturing.
Women currently make up significant part of GCPL’s workforce, a direct outcome of the company’s sustained efforts to foster gender equity. Godrej Ki Shakti is more than a celebration—it is a platform for amplifying women’s voices, recognizing their achievements, and fostering dialogue and allyship for a more inclusive future.
The event featured a classical dance performance and a skit titled “Accelerate Action,” performed by women employees, capturing the spirit of progress and unity. A keynote address by Ms. T. R. Gayathiri, a noted voice from the social impact sector, offered powerful insights on “Breaking Barriers & Building Inclusive Workplaces.” The celebration concluded with a prize distribution ceremony, recognizing employee participation and contribution.
Sandhya Ramesh, General Manager - Diversity Equity and Inclusion, Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), said, “At GCPL, we are deeply committed to building inclusive and equitable workplaces that empower women to lead, thrive, and shape the future of manufacturing. Through initiatives like Godrej Ki Shakti, we are creating safe spaces, encouraging everyday leadership, and celebrating the collective strength of women and allies across our factories. We remain focused on breaking barriers and building greater opportunities for women in manufacturing roles.”
The South zone celebration is part of a series of events being held across GCPL’s plants nationwide, reinforcing the company’s vision of fostering inclusive, equitable, and future-ready workplaces.
