Managing Diversity – The Challenges for India Inc

The plurality of the Indian constitution acknowledges various religions, regions, languages, genders and socio economic backgrounds to which the Indian population belongs.  Compounded identities are common to India, and India has always had the ability to accommodate diversity.  What does a diversified workforce, market or stakeholder mean to an Indian organization?
