Speaking about the conference, Dr Saundarya Rajesh, Founder-
President, Avtar Group said, “Workplace connections are crucial, and leaders
must foster connectedness among individuals and teams to help them unleash
their full potential. We exist in a hyper connected world in this hybrid era,
enabled by technology. What inspires and engages a geographically distributed
workforce is the connect and alignment they are able to experience with their
teams, leaders and the overall business purpose of the company. Today, when we
are back to a less disruptive, more stable world post the COVID-19 pandemic, we
are delighted to host exceptional speakers and seminal sessions at the Power of I, 2022
conference on the theme of “Building Connectedness”. We aspire to connect the
dots through thought leadership and help individuals build paths to more
inclusive selves through the spirit of connectedness.”
“Inclusion is at the
heart of Pega's core values. We are dedicated to ensuring that our many diverse
employees can fully contribute to our success with their whole selves. Our
objective is to build a sense of collective belonging balanced with a feeling
of being valued for our individuality. ‘Connectedness’ both fuels and completes
our diversity and inclusion efforts. We believe that ‘Connectedness’ is
essential to building an inclusive workplace where our employees can express
themselves freely, share ideas, and drive action to nurture a sense of
community,” added Smriti Mathur, Senior Director, Head of Human Resources,
Pegasystems India.
"In an all-digital
work-from-anywhere world, businesses have an even greater responsibility to
create an equal and inclusive environment that translates both in-office and
virtually. At Salesforce we are intentional about our focus and commitment
to Equality for All, becoming a workplace and world where everyone has
equal access, opportunities, rights, and true justice. We remain
accountable to the progress we’re making and focused on accelerating the areas

reflects the world around us" explained Sanket Atal, SVP and MD – Sites,
