Lead Story
In a sector long dominated by men, Vedanta Limited is quietly shifting the ground beneath the metals and mining industry. With women now holding 28% of leadership positions, far above the global industry average of 8%, Vedanta is reshaping how the industry thinks about inclusion, power, and performance. The company has set a clear goal for the future: by 2030, women will make up 30% of its workforce. But the approach goes far beyond recruitment targets.
Vedanta is creating work environments where women don’t just join, they lead, innovate, and influence how India’s industrial backbone is built.At a time when India’s female workforce participation had dropped to 19% in 2021, Vedanta is showing what it looks like when a company moves ahead without waiting for the world to catch up. Whether it’s managing critical mineral exploration, running high-risk operations, or rewriting internal policies, women at Vedanta are leading the charge.
