What our Leaders Say

Our commitment to being a solution-driven organization underscores our belief that it's the collective brilliance of diverse minds that propels us forward. In our pursuit of excellence, what matters is having the right people in the right roles, regardless of where they come from.

K. N. Radhakrishnan

Director and CEO

In our journey to make TVS Motor a Great Place to Work, Diversity & Inclusion stands tall among our initiatives. With women representing 50% of the global population yet generating only 37% of GDP (India 17%), our focus on empowering working women is crucial. By 2025, we aim for a 41% growth in working women. We're committed to enhancing the gender ratio to 20%, fostering safer workplaces and enabling flexibility.

Gender Inclusion

While we champion a culture of meritocracy valuing talent regardless of its origin and inclusivity comes naturally to us, we recognise the imperative of enhancing women's representation in our workforce. To achieve this, we have designed specialized programs offering mentorship and professional coaching, empowering women to thrive in meaningful roles. This commitment extends beyond the confines of our factory, with over 60,000 women actively participating in self-help groups and 20,000 engaged in income generation programs.

At TVS Motor Company, our commitment to gender inclusion is exemplified through our flagship Women's Leadership Development Program, Ascent' Launched in August 2019, this program has empowered 73 women across three successful batches. Through tailored workshops and trainer-led sessions, we focus on interpersonal relationship skills, assertiveness, impactful storytelling, and personal branding. Mentorship opportunities with senior leaders provide valuable insights, while professional coaching covers career aspirations, conflict management, and personal branding. Group activities facilitate knowledge sharing, creating a supportive platform for practical skill application.

Beyond the workplace, our 'Apache Riding Experience' stands as a testament to breaking gender stereotypes. The annual event provides women employees with a unique hands-on experience, riding our powerful Apache Bike under the guidance of acclaimed racers. At TVSM, we believe that the checkers flag doesn't distinguish between gender, and through initiatives like these, we strive to foster independence, boost self-confidence, and create a ripple effect of positive change throughout our organization and beyond.

Psychologically Safe Workplace

In fostering a psychologically safe workplace, TVSM promotes an atmosphere where employees feel confident expressing their ideas without fear of criticism, cultivating creativity and innovation. The emphasis on psychological safety also enhances team collaboration, fostering a culture of experimentation in line with TVSM's commitment to innovation.

At TVS Motor, the commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace is exemplified through the Women Resource Group (WRG). This dynamic platform unites women across departments, providing a space for informal communication and support. The WRG encourages the anonymous sharing of concerns, creating a collaborative environment where collective solutions emerge. This initiative significantly contributes to the empowerment and inclusivity of women within the organisation.

TVS Motor Company's dedication to inclusivity goes beyond the WRG. Initiatives such as menstrual leave, hybrid working policies, special referral programs for women candidates, and TVSM Authentic Workwear designed for women's comfort are actively supported by the WRG.
In the pursuit of a psychologically safe workplace, TVSM has introduced organisation-wide initiatives. Events like "WeCare" camping focus on employee health and well-being. Furthermore, the implementation of unconscious bias training and "Respect and Dignity at Workplace" training for senior leaders and managers ensures a culture of respect and understanding throughout the organization.

Community

The Community Initiatives spearheaded by Srinivasan Services Trust, reflects a commitment to eradicating poverty through empowerment and skill development. As the CSR arm of TVS Motor and Sundaram Clayton Ltd., the trust operates on the principle that no one desires to remain in poverty, yet many lack the necessary skills and resources to secure a better livelihood. The initiative focuses on fostering self-reliance by promoting education and training opportunities, establishing self-help groups, and introducing improved farming methods. Notably, over 60,000 women actively participate in these self-help groups, embodying the transformative impact of the initiative. Moreover, the trust facilitates access to government programs designed to uplift individuals and self-help groups, enabling them to break free from the shackles of poverty. Once a community attains self-sufficiency and learns to leverage state support, the trust strategically transitions its efforts to other communities in need, exemplifying a sustainable approach to community development.

Testimonials

The experience that I have gained at TVS Motor is irreplaceable and invaluable. I find the culture here open and transparent enough to express one’s opinion. The other thing I like about TVSM is the diverse set of people from diverse backgrounds that I get to work with. TVSM's focus on building an inclusive work culture can be measured by the amount of training that is provided to each one of us on how to deal with unconscious bias.

Shaun Qien Yeau Tan

Advance Engineering Group

Joining TVSM has been one of the most enriching decisions of my life. In a short stint of 2 years, I got a chance to work on a legacy ICE commuter brand, and also the much bigger corporate brand during the critical transition from BS4 to BS6 norms. Both these mandates made me understand and learn about consumers at a much deeper level from the purchase cycle perspective. This is what makes TVSM a brand to work for. The learning scope is immense and very satisfying to say the least.

Pulak Narain
