Raghu Gollamudi, CEO & Co-founder of Included, is mission-driven to create better workplaces globally. Gollamudi believes DEI isn’t a tax, PR issue, or feel-good checkbox – but an opportunity to build better and more people-first businesses everywhere.

“Our first customers were amazed when we surfaced significant demographic trends in their people data that even their executives did not know about,” says Chandan Golla, co-founder and Chief Product Officer. “That’s our priority – delivering actionable data on DEI to each customer.”

“I am so confident we made the right decision choosing Included. The data-driven, metrics-first approach to DEI goal setting and measurement perfectly match our commitment to DEI progress,” says Mary Miller VP of People at Amperity.
