The partnership

More than a decade of working together.

Avtar and Seramount have partnered for more than 10 years on the Best Companies for Women and Most Inclusive Companies studies in India.

The partnership has helped organisations benchmark their inclusion journeys, learn from leading practices and understand both the progress being made and the opportunities that remain.

CIC takes the next step.

The studies created a platform to understand where organisations stand. CIC creates a continuing platform to explore what organisations can do next—together—through experience exchange, capability building, deeper relationships and practical progress.
