Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Khaitan & Co has a dedicated Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiative titled ARISE for both lawyers and shared services across locations. ARISE’s goal is to foster a positive and supportive environment in which all can flourish regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, disabilities, religion, culture or any other dimension of diversity.

Our efforts under ARISE are both internal (awareness building) as well as external (creating opportunities for diverse firm members). Driven by our goal, we have activities aligned to different diversity streams: ensure gender balance across the Firm; build a supportive ecosystem irrespective of sexual orientation or identity; support colleagues affected by disability; and create right environment for mental wellbeing that is part of our broader approach to wellbeing at the firm.

At Khaitan & Co, diversity, equity and inclusion are at the core of who we are.

In line with the Firm’s vision of attracting and retaining top talent and creating a richly diverse community of professionals, we are committed to nurturing an inclusive, bias and barrier-free work environment. We strive to cultivate a sense of belonging where our members feel included, respected and psychologically safe to bring their authentic selves to work. We foster a strong culture where our members can flourish and progress based on their professional merit, accomplishments and contribution to the Firm, regardless of their gender, age, sexual orientation, disabilities or any other dimension of diversity.

We believe that this DEI commitment will not only enable us to nurture an inclusive and welcoming workplace for our members but also help bring in a diverse and talented set of professionals to provide best-in-class, innovative and commercially oriented solutions to our clients.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Please e-mail us at dicoordinators@khaitanco.com.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is at the centre of Khaitan & Co’s vision and strategy. Our vision is to build a diverse and inclusive environment, which accepts and embraces differences. Keeping our vision in mind, we have created a handbook on rights to person with disabilities and a compendium of the key laws applicable to the LGBTQIA+ community.
