Celebrating high performing women leaders

HCL's Red Ladder Awards are uniquely positioned to identify, recognise and award high performing and high potential women leaders, and leverage them as role models for other aspiring women.
Launched in 2016 by HCL, the initiative has been well received across various fraternity and created a niche for itself at several industry platforms to honor women for their contribution to business.
Awarded in various categories

The categories are as follows:
- Leadership in Innovation during the pandemic
This category recognises senior women leaders who came up with innovative solutions and have shown leadership during the pandemic, thus, driving the sourcing team’s performance to meet the management's long-term expectations in moving from transactional procurement to transformational procurement.
- Women Empower Women
This category will recognise the achievements of senior women who provided support and assistance to women in their organisation/communities. This award is open to women who have not only achieved personally in their organisation but have made a significant difference to the role of women in business within and/or outside their organisation over the past 12 months. The winning candidate will have demonstrated their attitude and commitment to developing, mentoring, and promoting other women in their roles in business. They may have influenced cultures and championed change in their organisations to support gender diversity and gender equality.
