Wearing Men’s Cap To Frame Guidelines For Women Won’t Work: J Hemalatha

Описание: As a student, Hemalatha wanted to become a lawyer, influenced by movies. However, she was drawn towards math, which made her pursue engineering, though becoming a professor in math was the second option. Although she pursued electrical and electronics engineering, she was determined to enter the manufacturing industry, which led her to get a job at a granite processing company. This debut stint allowed her to gain experience in the procurement department.
Hemalatha’s journey in automotive began with Rane Madras, which allowed her to work in the direct materials purchase division. In the meantime, she also pursued her Master’s degree in Business Administration and a Graduate Diploma in Materials Management.
She was adept at converting all the challenges into opportunities and learning new things. For instance, when the male colleagues at Rane were initially shy about talking to her, she took it as a challenge and worked to get everyone to open up. It took a year, but she succeeded. Suppliers provided her with valuable insights into the intricacies of manufacturing, which is driven by mechanical engineering principles. Whenever she felt that she was slipping into a comfort zone, she moved on.
With over 23 years of industrial experience, she has made significant contributions to Purchasing, Supply Chain, and Logistics. At present, she serves as the Senior General Manager—purchase at Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd’s Motor Division, which makes Starter Motors, 2W/3W Electrical Motors, and Controllers.
According to Hemalatha, DEI should not be treated as a mere fashion statement; instead, it should be emphasised as a top-driven approach. Implementing rules and regulations for women while wearing a men’s cap will not lead to effective outcomes, she adds.
