Founder and CEO Focuses on Leadership and Innovation to Establish True Diversity into the Workforce
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Indotronix Avani Group has announced its Founder and CEO Sameer Penakalapati has been named a 2024 Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DE&I) Influencer by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA). The annual DE&I Influencers list recognizes leaders who are making significant contributions to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce solutions ecosystem.
Penakalapati, who is also Founder and CEO of Ceipal and CEO of Accelerate Media, has long championed the importance of data in measuring the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace. His innovative approach to analyzing internal workforce composition and his commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced processes to diversify candidate sourcing have established him as an innovator. SIA’s 2024 DE&I Influencers list is available online with profiles of each individual influencer, and honorees are featured in the May/June 2024 issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine.
“If you don’t have ways to measure trends or to see exactly how diverse your existing talent sources are, then you’re essentially flying blind when it comes to DE&I efforts,” said Penakalapati. “With advanced technology, we’re now able to pull back the curtain and see the demographics of any talent pool, which unleashes the potential for unlimited growth and true diversity within the workforce.”
In 2023, Penakalapati led efforts to provide clients with insights into their hiring data over the past three years, comparing it with their current objectives. He also established a company-wide initiative at Indotronix Avani to achieve a 50% representation of women in the workforce, investing significantly in this goal. This led to substantial infrastructure improvements to support female employees. Drawing from his experiences as an immigrant, he underscores the significant benefits of a diverse team on a business.
Looking to the future, Penakalapati is focused on expanding diversity within remote and contingent labor markets. He identifies a unique opportunity for businesses to engage a globally diverse talent pool, highlighting how hybrid and remote work models can enhance DE&I efforts, making organizations more inclusive than ever before.
“Current headlines and even SIA’s most recent research shows a disappointing decrease in time, attention and resources being spent on diversity, equity and inclusion by businesses and individuals. But our 2024 influencers combat such trends by making DE&I more than an initiative and more of an imperative,” said SIA President Ursula Williams. “SIA is incredibly proud of the steadfast advocates on our 2024 DE&I Influencers list, and we honor them for endeavoring to create a more diverse, fair and inclusive world of work.”
