Securonix making progress in promoting gender equality across all technical profiles

Vinny Sharma
Marketing Head - Securonix

“We at Securonix believe that providing an inclusive environment to our employees is critical. Apart from the active and passive hiring processes, we have established multiple communities within existing teams based on different skill sets. Today, women across all industries are driving phenomenal growth and development. Having a gender-balanced team is our utmost priority even on the senior level. We use performance-based metrics for appraisals and promotions to keep a check on any gender discrepancies and ensure gender parity in leadership positions. In addition to this, we also participate in various diversity-based women hiring forums and career fairs to hire more female talent for our organisation. 

When it comes to the technology industry, women are generally regarded as the second-best option for various engineering roles in any organisation. However, we are making progress in promoting gender equality across all technical profiles. Women are excelling in all fields, including technology. Hiring female candidates is no longer limited to managerial positions, but is also expanding into various technological roles. I think the onus is also on ‘us’ because these prejudices are not going to go away easily. As a leader in the tech space, I can say from experience that it is a difficult journey but if you are confident and decisive, you can make your way.”
