We are an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) and embrace workforce diversity while attracting and retaining our people. We are committed to nurturing a diverse and an inclusive workplace fostering innovation and community involvement.
We have identified five pillars of diversity and inclusion, around which our top management drives DEI efforts for the Deepak Group.
Deepak Group has constituted a Cross-Functional Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) team, comprising representatives from various functions. The team conducted an internal analysis and put concerted efforts to assess the current DEI state within the organisation. They subsequently apprised the management on the DEI analysis along with the recommendations for the future course.
We are committed to nurturing a workplace where the sense of belongingness can thrive within our employees. We conduct several engagement initiatives to keep our employees motivated and engaged.
We provide a spectrum of learning and development opportunities to our employees to not only equip them with right skills to address the evolving business demands but also to accelerate their careers. The investment in the training and development of our employees sharpens our innovative capabilities, helping us outpace the competition.

The Deepak Group consistently attracts young talent from the universities and professional institute campuses, every year. The intake of Campus Trainees at the Company is steadily increasing, with a focus on grooming them for impactful roles that foster career development.
We have established a robust Health and Safety policy that guides and integrates our health and safety framework across all operations ensuring the wellbeing of our employees and stakeholders. Our HSE management systems, aligned with ISO 45000 and ISO 14001 standards, have been integrated across all locations and follow the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle for continual improvement. We have set measurable OSH objectives and stringent safety protocols and procedures across all locations, assessed through regular audits and inspections to ensure compliance with safety standards and identify improvement areas. We have implemented HIRA (Hazard identification and Risk Assessment) system, as part of Integrated Management System (IMS), with clearly defined responsibilities, accountabilities and authority of persons who identify, evaluate or control OSH hazards and risks. HIRA framework enables proactive identification of work-related hazards, helping us eliminate or control potential risks before they escalate into safety incidents. At Deepak, OH & S is considered as line-management responsibility, with periodic reviews from the Top leadership on the performance of the OHS management system. We foster cooperation and communication among the employees, workers and their representatives, for effective implementation of organisation’s OHS management system.
