“It is indeed an honour for Quintiles to receive this recognition. The award is a tribute to the women of Quintiles India who work with passion and energy for a healthier world. Without them this award would not have been ours. I would also like to acknowledge the men of Quintiles India who are very supportive of gender equality at the workplace,” said Anil Raghavan, Managing Director, Quintiles India.
The STPI Karnataka IT Export Awards is an annual awards event organised by the STPI, Government of India and the Department of IT, Government of Karnataka to recognise top performance IT and ITES companies for their contribution to the state of Karnataka. This is the first time that Quintiles India is receiving this award. In 2005-06, Quintiles was awarded the Karnataka IT Exports Award for the First Among The Fastest Growing SME Companies in Karnataka.
“Receiving this award amongst all ITES companies registered in Karnataka is indicative of the women-friendly environment we have created that makes it possible to recruit and retain so many women employees,” says Trupti Talati, Senior Director, Human Resources, Quintiles India. Close to 60 per cent of Quintiles Technologies’ employees are women.
