- Benchmark GPL's DEI position against real estate sector peers and identify aspiration gaps

- Partner with Talent Acquisition to embed DEI into sourcing, screening, and selection — diverse slates, structured interviews, bias mitigation
- Set and track representation targets across gender, differently-abled, LGBTQ+, and other dimensions across levels and functions
- Build pipelines for underrepresented groups — campus partnerships, return-to-work programmes, industry collaboration

Inclusion & Equity
- Audit and improve people processes — performance, promotions, pay, development — for equity and bias
- Design and run inclusion interventions — safe spaces,



employee resource groups (ERGs), allyship programmes, inclusive leadership development
- Ensure policies (maternity, paternity, POSH, flexible work) are not just compliant but genuinely inclusive in spirit and practice

Culture & Capability
- Build DEI awareness and capability across the organisation — workshops, toolkits, leader conversations, manager nudges

Who are we looking for?

- Data fluency — comfortable building representation dashboards, analysing pay equity, and presenting insights to leadership
- Excellent influencing and communication skills — able to build conviction without mandate
- Knowledge of POSH, statutory compliance, and relevant Indian regulatory context
