Equal Opportunity
Preamble and Overview
At MobilizAR Technologies Pvt Ltd, we recognize the value of a diverse workforce. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities and creating an inclusive workplace and work culture in which all employees are treated with respect and dignity.
Workforce diversity is a business imperative. We will strive to ensure that our workforce is representative of all sections of society. By doing so, we believe we would be better equipped to develop and deliver accessible and inclusive products and services. In this way, we hope to meet the needs of our clients and customers better, thus producing business excellence.
This Equal Opportunity Policy is based on the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. At MobilizAR Technologies Pvt Ltd, we commit to conforming to the letter and the spirit of the Act.
The promoters are responsible for the effective operation of the Equal Opportunity Policy. The Liaison Officer, Persons with Disabilities, will be in charge of its implementation.
