Infra.Market, which runs India's largest platform for construction materials, has announced the launch of its first all-women ready-mix-concrete (RMC) plant in Pune. The first batch of around 10+ employees, the company’s first all-women plant will manage end-to-end plant operations, quality control management, and sales. The manufacturing unit is among the few RMC plants in India to be operated entirely by a women workforce. This plant is located at Mundhwa, Pune, where it is easily accessible to the city centre and the outskirts of the developing city of Pune. In its effort to create a more inclusive workforce and provide economic opportunities for women across frontline positions since its inception, Infra.Market has seen a significant uptick of women in manufacturing roles. The company has invested considerably in training, automation, and upskilling roles, and has a dedicated focus on increasing diversity. The company has strengthened its women workforce to over 80+ women employees across its plants in India. On achieving this new milestone, Sheetal Bhanot Shetty, CHRO, Infra.Market, has said, Women are now playing key roles in every department, at every organisational level, and encouraging talent from diversified backgrounds brings incredible value and perspectives to the table. They are stepping beyond the boundaries and taking on more diverse roles, even in male-dominant sectors.” She further added, “Infra.Market’s endeavour is to nurture an inclusive work environment and drive the sector to encourage women’s talent. And, while we are ensuring that they are well-equipped to make a mark with our intense training sessions, upskilling and the latest technology, these women are taking this huge stride for a fulfilling career with us.”
