Why CIC

Inclusion should not be built in isolation.

Organisations everywhere are asking difficult questions about workplace culture and inclusion. These questions are becoming more complex as workforce expectations evolve and inclusion becomes part of everyday culture.

The knowledge gap

Limited access to cross-industry research, real-time best-practice sharing and peer-validated insights can slow progress.

Siloed efforts

Inclusion initiatives can remain within organisational boundaries, with limited opportunities for shared learning and accountability.

Redundant work

Without trusted peer networks, organisations can reinvent solutions others have already tested.

Limited peer inspiration

Organisations miss the opportunity to learn directly from peers successfully navigating similar challenges.

The missing platform

Leaders need a credible, high-trust environment.

A space where they can exchange ideas, challenge thinking and help shape what comes next. CIC brings organisations into the same conversation so experience can be shared and practical solutions can travel faster across the ecosystem.

Collective intelligence

From benchmarking to collective action.

Since 2016, Avtar and Seramount have partnered on the Best Companies for Women and Most Inclusive Companies studies in India. CIC builds on this foundation, moving organisations from understanding where they stand to exploring what they can do next—together.

CIC was created to change the way organisations learn, share, discuss, collaborate and solve inclusion challenges.
