Register for Inclusion Summit 2023

Schneider Electric is pleased to invite you to its Inclusion Summit 2023 with the theme ‘Evolve with Purpose’, in association with NHRD's Bangalore chapter.

This Inclusion Summit will feature our flagship women’s entrepreneurial event- Prerna Awards, which was launched in 2015 with the objective of recognizing Women Entrepreneurs (including MSMEs) who have done cutting-edge and innovative work, breaking the traditional mindset.

As the world continues to evolve, organizations must go beyond addressing how inclusion looks and instead strive for a culture of authenticity, flexibility, and purpose.

What’s More?
We have lined up a diverse set of speakers who will engage in meaningful dialogue around relevant topics across inclusion and inspire you to play a pivotal role in fostering an inclusive ecosystem.

Whether you prefer condensed, rapid-fire sessions, thought leaders on the Main Stage, or hands-on learning, there are different session formats to fit your learning style. All of this is within a safe and welcoming space for everyone to learn, connect, and grow.
