~ Aims to help build an inclusive ecosystem that celebrates diversity in India’s corporate culture

MUMBAI, India, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Godrej DEI Lab, an experimental space at the Godrej Industries Group dedicated to fostering diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces launched a first-of-its-kind public resource of reports, guides, trusted service providers and other information related to workplace inclusion. The launch marks the Lab’s first anniversary and is a milestone in the Lab’s ongoing efforts to strengthen inclusion efforts not only within its parent company, but across corporate India.

The DEI Directory is a comprehensive public repository that offers over 500 resources related to gender, disability and LGBTQIA+ concerns in the workplace, as well as to overall workplace inclusion. Frequently updated and fully searchable, it provides curated knowledge from trustworthy sources including business and academic reports, books, videos, podcasts, and information on DEI consultants and community-based service providers.

Alongside the Directory, the Lab introduced Spotlight, an initiative designed to recognize and celebrate excellence within Indian efforts at Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This is a storytelling project that highlights individuals whose values and ideologies have created successes in fostering inclusion across various industries. Their early publications include an in-depth look at how Biocon Biologics has grown women’s representation, and how the Lalit Group of hotels skills LGBTQIA+ individuals in order to enable their success in the hospitality industry, among others. By sharing these case studies, the Godrej DEI Lab aims to foster an inclusive ecosystem that not only celebrates diversity within Indian corporate culture but also underscores the importance of broader inclusion as a vital component of both business success and social progress.

“As we celebrate our first anniversary, we are not only reflecting on a year of achievement; we are looking forward to a future of transformation. The DEI Directory and Spotlight initiatives embody Godrej’s core values of putting people and their well-being at the heart of everything we do. They align with our vision of an inclusive India where every workplace celebrates diversity and serves as catalysts for change, empowering organizations to turn their DEI aspirations into tangible realities. In our first year, we have laid the groundwork; now, with these initiatives, we are building a movement that will reshape the landscape of Indian workplaces.” said Parmesh Shahani, Head of Godrej DEI Lab.

Since its inception in October 2023, the Godrej DEI Lab has sought to drive meaningful conversations that will help to change corporate India’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Lab’s first year has been characterized by research, collaborative partnerships, and supporting organizations in their DEI journeys.

By providing free, accessible resources through the DEI Directory and recognizing industry leaders via Spotlight, the Godrej DEI Lab reaffirms its commitment to accelerating the adoption of inclusive practices across India’s corporate sector. They reinforce its focus on building a more inclusive India, and world. Both the directory and the Spotlight section are on godrejdeilab.com

Recognition marks seventh consecutive quarter Achieve has ranked among the nation’s top lenders for customer satisfaction

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Achieve, the fintech for everyday Americans, has been named one of the Top 3 lenders in personal loan customer satisfaction by LendingTree for the third quarter of 2026. This distinction from one of the nation’s largest online personal finance marketplaces underscores Achieve’s commitment to delivering transparent, supportive, and human-centered financial services.

This marks the seventh consecutive LendingTree customer service award that Achieve has earned, following a top-three ranking in the second quarter of 2026. The quarterly ranking is published by LendingTree, based on verified customer reviews and other data evaluating lenders on transparency, ease of the application process and the quality of customer service. Achieve consistently maintains high ratings for providing consumers with a clear path toward improving their financial health.

“For someone consolidating debt, a personal loan is more than a transaction. It’s an opportunity to improve their finances and move forward with greater confidence,” said Achieve President of Lending Kyle Enright. “Our team helps members understand their options and find the solution that fits their goals by pairing competitive fixed rates with personal guidance.

This initiative, supported by advanced underwriting and enhanced with FICO® Score 10 T data, maintains access to fixed-rate loans for an expanded set of consumers, with an expected improvement in credit performance. These loans are originated by a bank partner via the Achieve Personal Loans platform.

Key highlights of the Achieve Personal Loan experience:

The national campaign brings together leading healthcare experts, mental health advocates, organizations, athletes and public figures to encourage more open conversations around men’s mental health and provide accessible, actionable resources for building healthier lives.

His perspective reflects the campaign’s broader mission to normalize mental health care as an essential part of everyday health and encourage men to prioritize their well-being before they reach a point of crisis.

The campaign was made possible through the participation and support of Vibrant Emotional Health, Financial Therapy Association, NOCD, Spear Center, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, American Association of Kidney Patients, Crisis Text Line, YMCA, One Mind at Work, The Hidden Opponent, Kevin Love Fund, American College of Sports Medicine, Whitman-Walker, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Mark Hyman, Yung Pueblo, Kevin Love, Howie Mandel and Jake Shane.
