Leadership becomes more powerful when it is shared. At Persistent, progress has always been built collectively. Women and men work side by side across teams: shaping strategy, driving innovation and delivering outcomes for our clients. This year marks the 115th year of International Women’s Day and we are proud to join the global hashtag#GiveToGain movement. When we give opportunity, we gain stronger leadership. When we give support, we gain stronger teams. The 'supporting' hands represent that simple idea: giving and receiving. Progress that moves both ways. For us, International Women’s Day is a moment to reflect on shared leadership. Our logo stepping into IWD colors is a small expression of that belief. Because what carries our name should carry our values. Together, let’s #GiveToGain for a more equitable future. #IWD2026 #WomensHistoryMonth #ReAImaginingTheWorld Anand Deshpande, Sandeep Kalra, Vinit Teredesai, Anand Krishnan, Barath Narayanan S S, Chitra Byregowda, Debashis Singh, Dr. Rajesh Gharpure, Ganesh Nathella, Jaideep Vijay Dhok, Kuljesh Puri, Mukesh Agarwal, Nitish Shrivastava, Padmanabhan V, Rahul Shrivastava, Rajiv Naithani, Shimona Chadha, Saurabh Dwivedi, Tom Klein
