The ‘Marupadi’ (again in Tamil) programme launched by the city-headquartered firm aims to help women who aspire to resume their careers after a break. The initiative was launched by Zoho Corp last year on March 8, coinciding with International Women’s Day celebrations.
As of today, 26 women from two batches have undergone training, of which 23 have been successfully placed in different roles in Zoho Corp while three are in the interview stage, the company said in a statement here.
“Marupadi was launched to help women in technology jumpstart their careers after a break. The tremendous response we have had over this past year speaks volumes about the amount of talent that is being passed over for want of an opportunity,” Zoho Schools of Learning president Rajendran Dandapani said.
“We are glad that Marupadi is already proving to be an agent of change for these women who have now embraced it as a turning point,” he said.
