BayOne`s `Make Tech Purple` Initiative Doubles Women Hires in Tech
BayOne Solutions, a US-headquartered technology solutions and talent partner, helps businesses build high-performing, inclusive tech teams through its transformative Make Tech Purple initiative. This bold program is dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology by empowering women from underserved backgrounds with in-demand skills and long-term career paths. Make Tech Purple is BayOne’s determined commitment to fostering inclusivity, igniting potential, and driving innovation in the tech ecosystem.
Through strategic partnerships with training programs and community organizations, BayOne creates clear pathways for women to thrive in tech, aligning with the industry’s dynamic demands. To better reflect the current initiative, we are doubling down on equitable hiring practices, redefining how talent is sourced, evaluated, and integrated across teams to ensure a more inclusive and future-ready workforce.
“Make Tech Purple isn’t just about adapting to change, it’s about shaping it,” said Neha Malhotra, Head of Recruiting and Delivery at BayOne Solutions and Ambassador of the initiative. “By supporting diversity and equipping women with the tools to succeed, we’re building a stronger, more innovative tech community that drives progress for all.”
BayOne’s commitment to diversity delivers measurable impact. Through equitable hiring practices, the adoption of the “Rooney Rule,” and an AI-powered platform to source diverse talent, the company increased its percentage of women hires from 26% to 46% in just four years. These efforts underscore BayOne’s dedication to fostering innovation through diverse perspectives and creating unbiased opportunities. With its Make Tech Purple initiative, BayOne is also bringing a fresh DEI narrative, advocating inclusive growth and challenging traditional recruitment norms.
MakeTechPurple began as a Silicon Valley-inspired program based on the straightforward belief that greater diversity drives stronger technical outcomes. It has gained the most traction in the United States to date, yet the scope is global, with active expansion in India through new hiring channels, structured mentorship programs, and focused recruitment of women in technology.
The initiative has earned steady recognition on professional platforms such as LinkedIn for its emphasis on equitable access and representation in the technology sector. Its stated long-term objective is to help create one million career opportunities for women in technology over the next decade through practical measures: opening defined career paths, supporting inclusive hiring practices, and providing continuous skill development.
