Mastek firmly believes in giving back to society. Our CSR arm, Mastek Foundation, was established in the year 2002, 10 years before the term CSR was coined. Under the umbrella of CSR activities, the Mastek group has contributed significantly to the society with a key focus on the improvement of health, education, social infrastructure, and women empowerment specifically in the rural areas.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

“Embracing Differences & Fostering Belonging”

At Mastek, our collective strength is magnified by the diversity of over 5,000 unique individuals we call ‘Mastekeers.’

We are committed to fostering a culture where unity in diversity thrives, equity is non-negotiable, and fairness is the bedrock of the equal opportunities we provide. It’s a place where inclusion isn’t just a buzzword but a practice-where bringing our authentic selves to work isn’t an act of courage, but a welcomed norm. We’re dedicated to cultivating a workspace that doesn’t just accommodate, but celebrates the rich mosaic of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives.

By actively eliminating unconscious biases, we ensure our ecosystem mirrors the diversity of our teams, clients, and the communities we serve. This reflective diversity is essential, enabling us to finely tune our services to the nuanced needs and expectations of those we serve.

How are we responding?

Mastek aims to achieve gender diversity at 40% by FY26.

At Mastek, we celebrate diversity & inclusion across our workforce, in our communities and partnerships. We have launched the ReShine program to offer job opportunities to women who are looking to make a meaningful career comeback post-maternity. We have also launched a Gender Reassignment policy to make the transition smooth for any individual. Mastek encourages every Mastekeer to reach their full potential with all their uniqueness and whole selves.
