"There was a feeling of incompleteness, of having something wrong with my body, of being unable to connect with my soul. My urge to become a woman grew stronger inside me,” stated a write-up emphasizing inclusiveness within the Tata Group on their website. The writer was Suresh, a trainee recruited by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in 2011 who, in 2017, "with full support from the management at TCS,” transitioned to womanhood. Now known as Thanishka, she "was introduced to the diversity and inclusion team (within the company) to help with the change.” Rounds of orientations with her immediate supervisor, managers 
and the rest of the team "to help them acknowledge and accept the changes in my appearance and attire followed.” Discussions with the in-house counsellor helped her make a smooth transition and prepared her to deal with people’s reactions. "The response that I received at TCS was spectacular.... Today, my life is beautiful,” Thanishka was quoted on the website.
"As with all Tata companies, TCS’s employment policies have enshrined in them a commitment to respect the uniqueness of each individual employee, and the freedom from being discriminated against for one’s religion, age, gender, ethnicity, race, and physical and mental ability,” stated Sheetal Rajani, TCS’s head of diversity and inclusion.
The software giant has tweaked its employees’ health insurance policy to cover staff members involved in a same-sex relationship, noted The Times of India on December 7. The new policy redefines "spouse” as "partner” irrespective of marital status. Under the revised policy, up to 50% of the cost of sex/gender reassignment surgery, subject to a cap of two lakh rupees would be covered, stated the report. Preeti D’Mello, global diversity head, told the newspaper that built on their core value of respect for the individual, the company will "continue (their) journey towards LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and others) inclusion... We believe in building an organization where everyone feels included, involved and respected.”
Meanwhile, Tata Steel announced on December 9, 2019 that it too has introduced a new human resource policy that enables its employees from the LGBTQ+ community to declare their partners and avail all human resource benefits permissible under the law, noted The Economic Times in its online edition on December 9.
