#309: Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and navigating the future of recruitment with Prashant Sahay

On this episode of The Shape of Work, our guest discusses diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and the future of recruitment.

"Creating a culture of inclusion must be a consistent effort. If we hire someone but don't include them in important decisions or give them a role where their contributions won't be meaningful, it is ineffective and pointless."

We welcome Prashant Sahay, Lead Campus Engagement at U GRO Capital, a BSE-listed, small business lending fintech platform. The company is focused on addressing the capital needs of small businesses operating in select eight sectors by providing customized loan solutions.

Prashant has close to 7 years of experience in Talent Acquisition. Currently working with a start-up, he has also worked as a consultant dealing with specific responsibilities and targets.

• Changes in strategies for recruitment
• Views on diversity, equity, and inclusion
