The fifth festival in Bengaluru aimed at highlighting the bigger impact that diversity and inclusion bring to all fronts" read the press release.Commenting on the occasion, Jonathan Pipe, CEO and Principal Officer, Anviti Insurance Brokers said, "Working in different cultures has made me understand how people work and has made me sensible towards my colleagues' priorities. Studies show from far more eloquent people, the business upside, the innovation and profits, but I wish that we didn't have to be talking about profits. I wish we were doing it because it's the right thing. Profits may come, may not come but what I want to do is to create an environment where people feel safe, not threatened and not discriminated against.""When you have people across ethnicities in your orgsation, you focus on facts and make unbiased decisions. I believe that the hierarchical barriers need to be broken and people working with you should be allowed to speak their minds and inclusive decisions should be made at every step. This makes a crucial difference in the way you handle business," he said.Amit Kalra, MD and Head, Swiss Re Bangalore, said "The objective of Dive In is to celebrate the spirit of diversity. Though we have a long way to go, I am happy that there has been quite a lot of traction towards this movement in India"( With inputs from ANI )
