Amidst a landscape where women remain significantly underrepresented, with statistics from the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicating that they comprise less than 16 per cent of the workforce, Preeti Bajaj has defied norms and shattered barriers to establish her formidable presence.
As a trailblazer in a field where gender diversity is often overlooked, Preeti’s leadership and achievements serve as a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence. Through her remarkable journey, she not only challenges stereotypes but also paves the way for greater inclusivity and opportunities for women in the energy sector.
In this freewheeling interaction, Preeti Bajaj speaks about how the company has imbibed a culture of diversity, inclusivity, and equity.
