A Factory Which Metaphorically Speaking, Is Run By Women

HCCB has built at Sananda, Gujarat, a factory where 40% of the employees are women. The journey entailed a detailed talent mapping of Gujarat to understand the local landscape and talent availability, ensuring permission from the local government for running a three-shift factory operation with women, building infrastructure (crèche facilities, safety and security) which is female employee friendly. And most importantly, using automation and technology in a way that physical strength does not become a differentiator between men and women’s prowess at running a factory.
