Bringing Inclusion and Diversity to Digital & IT at BMS<\/h4>\n

\u201cThere were not too many women in IT when I joined the field,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re still working hard to increase the percentage of women in tech. But BMS has encouraged all of us to pursue passion or stretch projects that keep the patient at the heart of what we do. It\u2019s in our culture and it\u2019s what you\u2019ll find in Hyderabad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
