Following the launch of Standard Chartered Bank’s Diversity and Inclusion strategy in 2018, Ankita has continually raised awareness of D&I within the organization through means such as hackathons, virtual trainings, and D&I forums. She founded the Women on Work (WOW) team which aims at supporting teams to improve their gender balance so that they can contribute to the Bank’s overall female ratio target, as well as identifying allies, promoting inclusivity, and conducting virtual trainings to address cultural gaps. In addition to her work with WOW, Ankita is one of the mentors for the Bank’s ASCEND program, which aims at creating and enabling a platform for learning, mentoring and coaching in order to nurture future senior female leaders in the Technology and Innovation space. As someone active on both internal and external professional networking sites, Ankita made a LinkedIn video for International Women’s Day 2021 promoting diversity in all its forms.
