Tata Capital Affirmative Action Policy
Tata Capital believes in social equity.
The Company adheres to the principle of equal opportunity, irrespective of
caste, whether in recruitment or career advancement within the
organization.
The Company is also committed to directly conducting or supporting
initiatives to ensure an equal footing for socially and economically
disadvantaged sections in the country at large, and specifically the
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities.
Towards the ultimate goal of enhancing their employability and
entrepreneurship abilities, Tata Capital is committed to creating and
promoting access to quality education and technical skills and
competencies for members of the SC/ST communities.
To enable these communities to overcome the social discrimination that has
prevented them from realizing their potential, Tata Capital will assist
members from these communities for employment opportunities and as
business associates, with merit, cost and quality being equal.

Pankh Scholarships
The Pankh Scholarships are given to
students nominated by employees
Tata Capital sponsors deserving students from the AA
Communities who have:
•Secured admission to a professional course, based on
merit
• Are financially deserving
• Have a valid caste certificate (or can get one made
asap)
Employees are invited to nominate any deserving candidate
they know of who requires a sponsorship, through an e-mail
The sponsorship is only for course and exam fees – in case
any other funding is required (text books etc.), it is looked at
on a case to case basis
The cases are presented to the CS&AA committee for final
approval
The employee nominating the student is the mentor.
The students are tracked for results in their exams and for
final placements as well, once they successfully complete
their course.
7 students sponsored so far.
