"We're proud that our company has been recognized by The Economic Times, because women are the GEP origin story and they are our future," said Roopa Gandhi, co-founder & president, GEP. "GEP stands out in the male-dominated tech and consulting industries, because we are a place where women are an integral part of our DNA, progress and success. We're in complete awe of, and are so grateful to, the women at GEP in India, because of their unbelievable strength and resilience in supporting their families, colleagues and our clients during this pandemic."

To foster gender parity, diversity and inclusion, the company's employee resource group Women@GEP, with hundreds of members in India and across the global company, operates four tracks to ensure GEP is a great place to work for women:
- Recruiting through unconscious bias training, diverse interview panels, and women-focused hiring drives where GEP female leaders share advice about mentoring, work-life balance, and pursuing careers in technology and consulting;
- Retaining and growing careers by ensuring pay parity, providing work remotely and flexible work options to support work-life balance, and encouraging employees to apply for other jobs inside GEP;
- Empowering women by connecting GEP women across functions, roles and locations to share experiences and advice and supporting women with resources for their health, safety and finance that encompass creches, yoga sessions, sports teams, health check-ups, and self-defense workshops;
- Recognizing and celebrating GEP women for their accomplishments, and hosting leaders from outside the organization to share their experiences and inspiring journeys.
