For the fourth consecutive year, ZS has been named one of the Best Companies for Women in India, based on industrywide benchmarking by Avtar and Seramount. Now named an “Exemplar of Inclusion,” ZS has also been placed in the Best Companies Hall of Fame for having been featured in the top 100 for five editions of the study’s run.

“ZS’s core values are rooted in inclusivity, equal opportunity and continuous improvement,” says Neha Arur, senior director of human resources at ZS India. “We take pride in knowing that the qualities that make ZS one of the best workplaces in India are visible and intentional, thanks to the collective efforts of every ZSer.”

A workplace that empowers women and drives equity

By fostering a supportive, inclusive and high-trust culture, we empower our people to grow in their careers and use their skills to drive impact. Our award-winning inclusion and belonging efforts include unconscious bias training, allyship initiatives and a network of ZSer-led employee resource groups.

Integrating inclusion across strategy, leadership and talent development

We embed inclusion and belonging into all levels of our operations. ZS’s global Inclusion and Belonging Council and Inclusion and Belonging Center of Expertise (CoE) design strategies that create systemic, sustainable progress. From recruiting through leadership development, these efforts strengthen opportunities for current and future ZSers.

We also support specialized initiatives like the Women in Tech Leadership Committee, which provides mentorship, peer learning and professional development through training sessions and firmwide events.

Developing future leaders through education and connection

Connection circles and lean-in circles, launched in partnership with LeanIn.org, foster community among ZSers with shared identities and experiences while offering research-backed resources to promote inclusive leadership and career growth.

Comprehensive benefits designed for every stage of life

ZS works hard to ensure our Total Rewards offerings support ZSers across life stages and experiences. This includes benefits for family planning, pregnancy, parental leave and reentry, as well as flexibility to support better work-life balance.

ZS conducts regular internal and external audits to confirm that our compensation practices are competitive, merit-based and free from gender bias. Our most recent audit found no gender-based pay differences across levels or regions. We also partner with external organizations to confirm our gender equity and family-friendly workplace standards.
