Dare to Overcome India<\/strong><\/a> (DTO) is a unique event that emphasises the core values that business leaders must engender and espouse in order to create an inclusive, diverse and peaceful work environment. It is the premier global event for business leaders to come together and share best practices, moral virtues, and corporate values as allies belonging to differing cultures, who have to function cohesively in workplaces and market-places – with the one collective goal of building sustainable peace and prosperity. Teamwork Arts is producing DTO’s next flagship international event, along with awards for business leaders and companies advancing peace and allyship among diverse communities, which will take place in New Delhi, India, on 4 October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>DTO-India 2023 will also be the first-ever international gathering of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) committed to fostering intercultural understanding in corporate workplaces, including representatives from MNCs Salesforce, PayPal, Equinix, American Airlines, etc. A call will be made for all companies to consider adding such ERGs to their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. DTO\u2019s Unity in Diversity global gathering will be held at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
