At Mahindra Finance, we believe that a company`s success and competitiveness depend on its ability to embrace diversity. Diversity and inclusion at Mahindra Finance aims to optimize the organization`s entire talent pool, including people of all generations (by hiring former soldiers), gender (by providing a second career opportunity for women), and people with special disabilities (through Project Enable). We don`t have an official start time because our work is very different. Personally, we prefer to start our day at 7 a.m. Since this is rural finance, we have to go out into the field and meet with clients. We know that customers (farmers) are only home before 9 p.m. or after 7 p.m. The rest of the day, they will be in the fields. So we have to plan our activities accordingly. M.
