Innodata India: Beyond Representation, Creating Opportunities for Women to Thrive

At Innodata India Pvt. Ltd., creating an inclusive workplace for women is an integral part of our
organizational culture and people strategy. We believe that gender diversity brings broader
perspectives, strengthens decision-making, encourages innovation and contributes to a stronger and more resilient organization.

Our approach goes beyond representation. We focus on creating an environment where women have the opportunity to build meaningful careers, develop their capabilities, take on leadership responsibilities and thrive at different stages of their professional journey.

Today, women constitute 45.22% of our workforce, with 1,502 women employees, while 30
women hold leadership positions. These figures reflect our continued focus on creating
opportunities for women across the employee lifecycle.

Building a Strong and Inclusive Women Workforce

Our approach to gender inclusion begins with creating equitable opportunities to attract, engage and retain women talent.
Women are an integral part of our workforce across diverse business and functional areas. Our focus is to ensure that women have opportunities to contribute meaningfully, develop their skills and take on increasingly complex responsibilities. Rather than viewing diversity as a standalone initiative, we seek to embed inclusion into our broader people practices and employee experience.

Enabling Women to Progress into Leadership

We believe that meaningful inclusion must translate into career progression.
Women at Innodata are encouraged to take on high-impact assignments, cross-functional
responsibilities and leadership opportunities based on their capabilities and performance.
The presence of women leaders also creates greater visibility of career possibilities for other women employees. These leaders serve as role models and contribute to building a stronger pipeline of future women leaders. Our focus remains on creating opportunities for women to progress from participation to ownership and ultimately to leadership.

A Culture Built on Respect, Inclusion and Equal Opportunity

Our workplace culture is anchored in respect, fairness, inclusion and merit.
We strive to create an environment where employees feel comfortable sharing ideas, taking
ownership, participating in organizational initiatives and pursuing career opportunities.
Employee engagement, recognition and communication initiatives provide platforms for employees to connect with the organization, showcase their contributions and participate beyond their day-to day responsibilities. For us, inclusion means ensuring that women feel valued, heard and empowered to contribute.

Safe and Respectful Workplace

A safe workplace is fundamental to women’s participation and career growth.
Innodata follows a Zero-Tolerance approach towards Sexual Harassment and has established
mechanisms under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) framework to promote a
professional, respectful and secure workplace. Awareness initiatives and defined grievance-redressal mechanisms help employees understand their rights and available channels for raising concerns. Our objective is to ensure that every woman can work with dignity, confidence and security.

Flexibility that Supports Career Continuity

We recognize that professional journeys can intersect with changing personal and family
responsibilities. Where business requirements permit, our flexible and remote-working practices provide employees with greater flexibility in managing professional and personal commitments. Such flexibility can be particularly valuable in supporting women through different stages of their careers and enabling them to remain connected to the workplace while managing evolving responsibilities. Our objective is to create an environment where career continuity does not have to come at the cost of personal well-being.

Investing in Learning and Future-Ready Skills

Continuous learning is an important part of our employee development philosophy.
As Innodata evolves in an increasingly AI-driven business environment, we encourage employees to continuously build relevant technical, functional and professional capabilities.
Women employees have opportunities to participate in learning and development initiatives
covering areas such as:

• AI and emerging technologies
• Functional and technical capabilities
• Leadership development
• Communication and collaboration
• Strategic and professional skills

By supporting continuous upskilling and reskilling, we aim to prepare women employees for evolving roles and future leadership opportunities.

Prioritizing Health and Well-being

We recognize that a positive employee experience must include support for physical health and overall well-being. Our employee well-being ecosystem includes initiatives such as annual health check-ups, healthcare benefits, fitness and wellness activities, health awareness initiatives and employee engagement programs. These initiatives are intended to encourage employees to prioritize their well-being and maintain a healthy connection between their professional and personal lives.

Creating Visibility Through Recognition and Engagement

Recognition plays an important role in building confidence, motivation and a sense of belonging. Our recognition and employee engagement initiatives provide opportunities for employees to demonstrate their contribution, take ownership of initiatives and receive visibility for their achievements. We encourage women to actively participate in organizational programs and take opportunities that allow them to demonstrate their capabilities beyond their defined roles.

Our Continued Commitment

Our journey towards creating a preferred workplace for women is continuous.
Going forward, our focus will remain on strengthening:

• Leadership opportunities
• Women’s career progression
• Learning and reskilling
• Workplace flexibility
• Employee well-being
• Recognition and visibility
• A safe and inclusive workplace culture
• The pipeline of future women leaders

We recognize that building an inclusive workplace is not achieved through a single initiative. It
requires consistent practices, leadership commitment and a culture that evolves with the needs of employees.
