Abstract
The case describes Cummins India’s journey of implementing a large scale change to bring about gender diversity and inclusion (D&I) in their organization. The case underscores how this journey from 7% female representation (professional cadre) in 2005 to over 30% representation in the span of 12 years necessitated some tough decisions and a strong push by the top leadership. Now that Cummins India has been able to achieve a balance in their workforce gender representation, it faces the challenge of creating a strong systemic and cultural transformation for a truly inclusive culture.
