diplomatic ties. The 12 specially designed pavilions came

German road show had over 3,70,000 visitors.
Women at Bosch pioneering change
There is a general notion that despite many positive
social changes, India remains a male-centric society. And
manufacturing industry even more so.
Diversity has contributed to the success of company. The
women at Bosch India are just a few among many women
who are pioneering change.
Inclusion of women at work place has become a key factor
in achieving national success. Bosch India understands
this issue and has taken measures to achieve a balance of
gender. Today the number of women employed at Bosch
locations in India is gradually increasing. Bosch India was
able to achieve a target of 23.1% of female hires out of the
total technical hires in the country.
Saritha Poovanna – the only woman heading a
manufacturing department at the Bangalore plant, and
the only woman in the common rail pump team, aptly
summarizes the changing times having joined Bosch over
14 years ago – “There is increased acceptability of women
in different roles and an understanding of the advantages
that a truly diverse team brings to the organization”.
