Mumbai, India – October 24: Godrej Properties Limited (GPL), a leading player in India’s real estate sector, is proud to announce the launch of the ThisAble Me Internship Program, a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to provide paid internship opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (PwD). This 9-month program offers hands-on training, mentorship from senior leadership, and a pathway to full-time employment with GPL, embodying the company’s commitment to creating a more inclusive and accessible workplace.
The ThisAble Me internship will be conducted across ten locations in India, including Delhi NCR, Kolkata, Nagpur, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Indore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Pune, providing opportunities to individuals from diverse regions and backgrounds. Applicants must be graduates and will be provided with comprehensive on-the-job learning and mentorship.
At the heart of this initiative is GPL’s strong focus on inclusion and accessibility. Over the past year, GPL has made significant strides toward creating a welcoming environment for PwD by:
- Sensitization and Awareness Programs: Internal training and workshops have been conducted to educate employees on the importance of inclusivity and the barriers faced by PwD in the workplace. These programs ensure that GPL employees are not only aware but also equipped to contribute to an inclusive and supportive work environment.
- Hiring and Empowering PwD: Over the past year, GPL has actively recruited talented individuals with disabilities, incorporating their unique skills and perspectives to enhance our operations. Each new hire is an integral part of our team, and this internship is a further step in nurturing talent from this diverse group.
- Building Accessible Sites: As part of its ongoing accessibility efforts, GPL has redesigned several of its sites to ensure they are fully accessible to employees with disabilities. This includes structural modifications, technology upgrades, and ergonomic adjustments to facilitate ease of movement and work.
- Reasonable Accommodations: GPL has implemented a robust reasonable accommodation policy, ensuring that all PwD employees have the necessary resources, tools, and support to thrive in their roles. From adaptive technology to flexible working arrangements, we have put in place mechanisms to enable all employees to perform to their highest potential.
Speaking on the launch of the ThisAble Me Internship Program, Megha Goel, CHRO said: “At Godrej Properties, we believe that true inclusivity begins with creating opportunities for everyone, regardless of their abilities. The ThisAble Me internship is a testament to our commitment to fostering an inclusive work culture where everyone can thrive. We are excited to offer this platform to empower Persons with Disabilities and to continue building a workplace that celebrates diverse capabilities.”
