About India Workplace Equality Index (IWEI)
India’s ONLY comprehensive benchmarking tool for companies to measure their progress on LGBT+ Inclusion. The IWEI empowers companies to navigate the challenges of embedding LGBT+ inclusion and provides them with a clear roadmap to follow.
It was only in 2018 that The Supreme Court of India decriminalised Section 377 of Indian Penal Code, but the LGBT+ community in India still faces immense social stigma. Very few people are ‘OUT’ at work, so feedback to employers on the needs of LGBT+ people is limited. The IWEI has been created to enable organizations to navigate these challenges and make progress towards LGBT+ equality.
The IWEI follows in the footsteps of Stonewall’s UK Workplace Equality Index. This benchmarking tool has been used by employers over the last 15 years to assess their achievements and progress on LGBT+ workplace equality in the UK. Pride Circle, & Keshav Suri Foundation (KSF), Stonewall have been working closely over the last 3 years to adapt the UK WEI and bring it to life in the Indian context.

Each company compiles a submission accompanied by supporting evidence, which demonstrates their performance against a set of best-practice criteria. The criteria are split across nine different areas of employment policy and practice, including the anonymous employee survey about their experiences of LGBT+ inclusion.
Participating companies receive their scores, enabling them to understand what’s going well and where they need to focus their efforts. Also, companies see how they’ve performed in comparison with their sector and region.
