Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Diversity and inclusion

Virtusa is committed to creating an equal opportunity workplace and community for all. We aim to enable a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we nurture high-performing engineering talent through continuous learning and personalized employee success journeys.

Our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy is augmented by investments in technology and security systems to enable our teams to operate remotely regardless of geographical or social boundaries. By doing so, we have helped individuals and teams with diverse backgrounds and experiences collaborate globally. Furthermore, we are committed to creating an equal opportunity workplace and community – growing women into leadership roles with coaching and training in leadership and flexible work options.


DEI partnerships

Our DEI council is responsible for identifying goals based on our DEI focus areas at a corporate level, tracking performance, and providing governance and oversight to various DEI programs and initiatives.

Our initiatives:

  • Partnering with a third-party to develop inclusivity and unconscious bias training for all employees
  • Increasing gender diversity hiring in our workforce from 32% female (FY22) to 40% female by FY26
  • Increase supplier diversity from 46% to 58% by 2026
  • Promoting equity and inclusion and increasing diversity hiring through the exploration of multiple partnerships
  • Partnering with Case Western Reserve University to implement our Women Leaders Program (WLP)
  • As part of our Women of Virtusa (WoV) employee resources group, we have initiated mentorship programs for women, panel discussions on work-life balance, and spotlighting inspiring women leadership stories within the organization.
