At Calsoft, we believe that empowering women isn’t just about building a diverse workplace—it’s about creating a vibrant community that drives innovation and makes a lasting impact on society. Women have been at the forefront of technological evolution, from Ada Lovelace’s visionary algorithms to Grace Hopper’s groundbreaking coding innovations and Hedy Lamarr’s pioneering contributions to wireless communication. Their stories inspire us to celebrate the contribution of women to technology and ensure that their voices, talents, and ideas are amplified in shaping the future of technology. Their work has laid the foundation for today’s digital revolution, and we strive to carry their legacy forward.
Our commitment to gender equity is more than just policy—it’s a core part of who we are. We create an equitable environment where women have equal opportunities to advance, fair compensation, and a culture of respect. At Calsoft, empowering women is not just a moral imperative—it’s a strategic advantage and we recognize that when women thrive, families, communities, and organizations flourish.
Our comprehensive approach to empowering women—through mentoring, fair policies, fostering work-life balance, and wellness initiatives— helps us set benchmarks we strive to attain. These efforts benefit women and enrich the workplace by embracing diversity, driving innovation, and enhancing organizational culture. At Calsoft we try to focus on measurable outcomes, such as monitoring gender proportionality in performance and promotions and addressing the practical aspects of women’s needs (like maternity and childcare policies), using a more thoughtful and structured approach to inclusivity. We encourage women’s talents in cutting-edge technologies, both professionally and as personal growth.
At Calsoft, we’re not just building careers—we’re building futures. Our newly inducted women employees describe us as a launchpad for exploring cutting-edge technologies while achieving the elusive work-life balance. By valuing talent over tenure, we create an environment where everyone could grow and succeed.
We celebrate our women employee’s contributions and provide them platforms to empower them to set their goals and ways to achieve them. Our commitment goes beyond creating a diverse workplace; we strive to build an inclusive ecosystem where women feel valued, supported, and empowered.

Flexible Policies: Our maternity and post-maternity support policies prioritize family well-being while fostering career continuity. We understand the importance of supporting women as they balance their personal and professional lives. Our policies include:
- Maternity leave prioritizes health, bonding time with newborns, and an easy transition into motherhood.

- Wellness workshops focus on reproductive health, stress management, and overall well-being, ensuring women have the resources to thrive.
- Family-inclusive initiatives, such as employee children’s activities, strengthen connections between work and home life.
We recently conducted an enriching workshop titled “Balancing Work and Play: Parenting in the Early Years” featuring Dr. Krishna Kulkarni, a developmental psychologist and parent coach. The session empowered parents with practical strategies for fostering connected, playful family experiences, addressing challenges like tantrums and screentime, and understanding developmental milestones. Parents left with valuable insights to integrate play and equal parenting into their routines effectively.
Fair Treatment Policy: Calsoft’s Fair Treatment Policy supports a workplace culture that upholds the right of all people to be treated with fairness, equity, and dignity.
We ensure that we provide an environment free of unlawful discrimination and harassment. We promote inclusion and eliminate all forms of discrimination depending on the personal commitment of all workers, who must accept individual personal responsibility while implementing the policy.
Encourage Open Dialogue and Feedback: For women to feel genuinely empowered, they need to be heard. We at Calsoft ensure:
- Open channels of communication to share their experiences, voice their concerns and contribute their ideas.
- Create an open atmosphere for dialogue.
- Our policies ensure that women can communicate concerns without fear of retribution, providing leaders with valuable insights into areas that need improvement.
We are aware that women’s empowerment is not just a standalone initiative. It needs to be integrated into the very fabric of the organization. This culture of empowerment benefits everyone and propels the organization toward success, resilience, and sustainable growth.
As part of our Diversity and Inclusion policy, we encourage the core values of Calsoft to be inculcated and exhibited by all employees:
Our women employees exemplify entrepreneurship, leadership, and technical expertise, embodying our values wherever they go. At Calsoft, we don’t just celebrate the achievements of women in the workplace—we champion their potential to shape the future of technology and society.
