About Us

With DI-verse, we empower corporates, organizations, and individuals to embrace disability inclusion effortlessly. The American India Foundation's DI-verse initiative aims to make Indian corporations fully inclusive, focusing on both social impact and economic benefits. DI-verse helps companies value skills over disabilities, offering strategies to attract and keep talented employees, improve productivity, and promote an inclusive culture. The cornerstone of our approach is a detailed certification program that advises companies on making every part of their operations accessible, from communication and policies to infrastructure and hiring. With expert advice and awareness initiatives, AIF ensures that making workplaces accessible is a deliberate choice. DI-verse also focuses on improving the financial status of PwDs by increasing their job representation, thereby aiding national economic progress. Companies partnering with DI-verse not only receive certification but also commit to a broader goal of creating workplaces where financial inclusion and diversity are essential for long-term success.
