The company also announced its association with GTT Foundation to train 200 individuals in various skills across the country thereby strengthening D&I hiring by leveraging untapped talent pools, enhancing engagement and more importantly, embracing a sense of oneness that celebrates India’s demographic dividend.

MLL’s association with GTT foundation to train 200 individuals, includes individuals from LGBTQIA community. The company will train individuals from the community in building skills like digital marketing, data entry, tele calling, enhancing their soft skills, among others.

Our association with GTT Foundation to train 200 individuals is the first phase towards this commitment. We will continue to encourage and value diversity through our policies on adding talent and develop various skills within these communities through our employees, associates, business partners and customers.”

Dr Uma Ganesh, Trustee, GTT Foundation said, “GTT Foundation has been working with marginalised communities to help them become employable and build sustainable livelihoods. In this context, we are delighted to partner with Mahindra Logistics to extend employability training for LGBTQ community, Persons with Disabilities and women from humble backgrounds across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Telangana, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala & Andhra Pradesh.
