Bengaluru, June 28, 2025: Tata Steel commemorates a decade of MOSAIC, its Diversity & Inclusion initiative, that started in 2015 with the vision of making inclusion a lived experience across the organisation. This year, the Company is marking a decade of MOSIAC alongside Pride Month, reinforcing its continued commitment to building a more inclusive workplace.
MOSAIC is anchored in five strategic pillars – Recruitment, Sensitisation, Retention & Development, Infrastructure, and Celebration. It addresses the unique needs of diverse communities, including women, persons with disabilities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and Affirmative Action groups.
Atrayee Sanyal, Chief People Officer, Tata Steel, said: “For over a century, Tata Steel has been a pioneer in people-centric HR policies, consistently evolving with the times to stay not only relevant but also purpose-driven. Our commitment has always been to foster a more equitable and inclusive workplace – one where individuals are valued for who they are and empowered to contribute meaningfully. At the heart of our approach lies a deep belief in diversity and in creating an ecosystem where everyone can thrive and bring their best, most creative selves to work. This year, as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of MOSAIC – our diversity and inclusion journey that began in 2015 – we do so with even greater clarity, conviction, and commitment than when we first set out.”
Since its launch a decade ago, MOSAIC has shaped several transformative inclusion efforts across Tata Steel. These include the Women of Mettle scholarship (2017), Women@Mines (2019), Queerious – a case study competition for LGBTQIA+ students, and the integration of transgender HEMM operators at its mines (2021). In 2023, the Company introduced Ananta Quest for students with disabilities and onboarded its first batch of female firefighter trainees. Most recently, in 2024, Tata Steel operationalised India’s first all-women mining shift at Noamundi. These initiatives have helped break industry stereotypes and foster a workplace where inclusion is embedded in everyday practices—allowing every individual to thrive, contribute, and grow without barriers.
Tata Steel aims to have 20% diversity in its workforce across the group by 2028. For Tata Steel, the commitment to diversity goes beyond policy implementation; it actively seeks to redefine norms in typically male-dominated sectors. Tata Steel’s progressive HR policies offer equal benefits for LGBTQIA+ partners, gender-neutral parental leaves, support for gender transition, and inclusive relocation and travel benefits.
In 2023, Tata Steel was named a Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum—the only Indian company on the list of eight. In 2024, the Company was recognised as a Gold Employer by the India Workplace Equality Index (IWEI) for the fourth year in a row, for its inclusion programmes across gender, sexual orientation, and disability.
