A Bibliometric Analysis and SLR of DE&I: Unveiling its Potential as a Catalyst for Cultural Transformation and Competitive Advantage

Abstract

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives demonstrably enhance employee engagement, innovation, and profitability in Western organisations. However, the cultural context of India necessitates further research to understand their applicability. This study explores how established DE&I frameworks translate to the Indian workplace and address unique challenges. By examining successful practices within Indian organisations, the research aims to bridge the knowledge gap and inform best practices for fostering a more inclusive and equitable work environment. The findings hold significant implications for future research, potentially informing culturally sensitive DE&I models and sparking further investigations into specific Indian contexts.
