Managing Director of SBI, Anshula Kant, Deena Mehta, the first woman stock broker of India, Ambarish Datta, MD & CEO , BSE Institute and Meera Shenoy, Founder-CEO, Youth4Jobs lit the lamp, did the tradition of striking the gong and released the report. This report highlights best practises of some banks, public and private – their recruitment and hiring practise, work place adaptations and how their eco-sphere is made sensitive so that employees and employers understand disability.
The report also highlights star performers, individuals who have risen to good positions in the financial institutions, despite their disability &inspire. Organisations who read this report will realise that it can be done – youth with disabilities can be skilled appropriately as companies are hiring, not out of sympathy or empathy. But because this untapped talent pool helps their business.
