Vedanta Sesa Goa Champions Inclusion with #IronLadiesIndia’26 campaign

Goa, March 5, 2026– Vedanta Sesa Goa has announced the launch of the fourth edition of its flagship Women’s Day campaign, #IronLadiesIndia’26, a transformative initiative that has grown into a powerful platform for expression, empowerment, and progress since its inception in 2023.

Over the past three years, the campaign has touched the lives of more than 50,000 women across 30 villages in four states, championing women’s empowerment both within the workplace and in communities. It has celebrated changemakers in education, healthcare, social work, and community development, while also spotlighting the growing representation of women in mining – a sector traditionally marked by low female participation.

Today, Sesa Goa proudly stands at 26% women employees, significantly higher than the industry benchmark of 8%, underscoring its commitment to fostering inclusive growth.

The campaign has also partnered with para-athlete and World Para Athlete Grand Prix Silver Medalist Ms. Sakshi Kale, extending support to her sporting pursuits, and has celebrated the success of the Senior Women’s Team at the Sesa Football Academy, which has gone on to make its mark in the Indian Women’s League.

Internationally acclaimed at prestigious forums such as the Sabre Awards (South Asia) and Sabre Awards (Asia Pacific), the campaign takes forward Vedanta’s commitment to equal opportunities and to leveraging the power of diverse talent.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Navin Jaju, CEO, Vedanta Sesa Goa, said: At Vedanta Sesa Goa, we are committed to empowering women as drivers of national progress. Through initiatives such as Nand Ghars, onboarding women in mining, technical training at the Sesa Technical School, building a girls’ football ecosystem at the Sesa Football Academy, Vedanta Utkarsh Scholarships, vocational training under Project Jeevika, and dedicated Tailoring and Computer Centres, we have created pathways of empowerment for thousands of women across states. These platforms have empowered our ‘Iron Ladies’,we are proud to stand with them in powering their aspirations..”

The launch of #IronLadiesIndia’26 reaffirms Vedanta Sesa Goa’s commitment to creating enabling conditions for women to thrive across diverse fields, driving meaningful empowerment and lasting transformation.
