“One of the key sectors that has the potential to boost women’s workforce participation, is the STEM industry. While 43%of STEM graduates are women, they make up only 28% of the STEM workforce. Moreover, women drop out of the workplace due to childbirth, childcare and elder care. Consequently, only 3 percent of women hold CEO posts in the STEM Industry. While research has established that improving women’s workforce participation can boost India’s GDP by 27%, more women in STEM would set the stage for inclusive innovation and solution designs that are equitable for all. Women have historically been underrepresented in STEM, yet they bring invaluable perspectives and ideas to these fields. MACC awards recognizes the exceptional talent, the brilliance, and diverse perspectives of women in STEM,” said Dr Saundarya Rajesh, Founder – President, Avtar Group announcing the awards at the myAvtar Career Conference today in Bengaluru.

The centre is designed, built and managed by Awfis for two leading Fortune 500 companies specialising in Information Technology services and Consulting. One of them, a marquee client of Awfis, with spaces in Indore, Jaipur and Nagpur has expanded in Bhubaneshwar with a five-storey space (46,642 sq ft).

Equipped with meeting rooms, collaborative spaces, recreational areas, a cafeteria, and workstations, the managed office space offers a comprehensive workspace tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the clients. With contemporary and cutting-edge interiors, the office spaces have been customised to embody the client’s culture and brand ethos.

The design ethos draws inspiration from Odisha’s heritage, including its classical dance, picturesque beaches, and the iconic Sun Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and elements such as Pattachitra coconut paintings and hand-painted wall sets. The colour palette of the space takes cues from the natural beauty of Bhubaneshwar’s historical monuments, beaches, and verdant mountains.

With its strategic location, modern infrastructure, futuristic design and vibrant community, we are confident that this centre will become a hub for innovation in the city.”
