We are committed to advancing, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, inclusion and belonging at PubMatic. It makes us a stronger, more successful company in our mission to fuel the endless potential of internet content creators.
PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES
Our ongoing commitment to becoming a more diverse and inclusive organization is one of our core cultural principles. As our workforce grows ever more diverse as the result of our inclusive hiring practices, it is important that we also support equity and inclusion throughout the full employment cycle of the employee. To this aim, we are focused on providing equal opportunity for recognition and advancement for all by implementing the programs & initiatives below.

As part of our effort to make PubMatic an inclusive workforce, employees have created the Black, Latinx and AAPI ERGs. These groups build community, share ideas and network.
JOY IN THE JOURNEY
Our informal mentoring program where female leaders share their stories in a personal way. All employees are welcomed to learn from the wisdom and experiences of senior employees.
DEI TRAINING
As we become a more diverse and inclusive workforce, our employees participated in Allyship and Unconscious Bias trainings to make PubMatic an affirming and welcoming environment.
DEI COUNCIL & WORKGROUPS
The DEI Council is made up of 13 employees across departments and locations, representing working groups focused on Anti-Racism, Gender Equality, and Vendor Inclusion, to name a few.
THE BOYD INITIATIVE
We created an internship program in partnership with The Boyd Initiative, an organization that provides Black college students the fundamentals and opportunities in Media and Advertising.

To stay competitive, organizations need to be able to innovate quickly. I personally believe there’s no better way to be innovative than by cultivating diverse teams. Working with people with different backgrounds and experiences encourages you to think differently and perform better. PubMatic recognized this early on and it has been key in driving growth and innovation.
Jacqueline Boakye
Regional VP, Customer Success, EMEA
We empower our clients globally by being the most innovative company in programmatic advertising. Our secret sauce for maintaining our creative edge is our diversity and inclusion. Our diverse team brings increased creativity by synthesizing different thought processes and experiences. It also allows us to be empathetic with our customers from different backgrounds.
Vasu Cherlopalle
VP, Big Data and Analytics
Strength lies in differences. PubMatic recognizes the advantages of having diversity in its offices and has thus employed different people of various backgrounds. I feel inspired and empowered working with colleagues from Sweden, UK, Myanmar, India and Australia on a daily basis as we combine different approaches to solving a tacky problem and bring better value to our clients.
Joelle Siew
Associate Director, Advertiser Solutions, SEA
Diversity is vital for any company to innovate more effectively. Championing ideas from a wider, more diverse pool of individuals has been proven to yield greater results. At PubMatic, there is a genuine culture of inclusion whereby everyone has a platform to be heard and hence shape the business. This environment also helps to maintain and increase the diversity pool over time.
Kofi Amoako
Regional VP, Customer Success Operations
Corporate social responsibility is an important topic in our industry, and something that our partners ask us about often. It’s great to be able to identify the actions we’ve taken to create a diverse and inclusive environment. Our clients are impressed that the UK has such a strong female leadership team and have expressed that it aligns well with their own values and goals.
Lisa Kalyuzhny
RVP, Advertiser Solutions, EMEA
Working with a diverse group leads to the success of our customers. Clients benefit from the diversity at PubMatic when more employees feel empowered. The more we are engaged, the more we want our customers to succeed. With different perspectives contributing to an idea or product, we create more innovative solutions that have a greater impact on our clients.

10 Ways Women Can Help Promote Diversity in Ad Tech
PubMatic has recently launched our diversity inclusion report which touched on three main areas: finding the best talent, empowerment through inclusion, and pay parity.
Obviously, I am vested in all of the above. And as a ‘woman in ad tech,’ I was particularly interested in understanding how we at PubMatic faired with regards to female representation, and I was pleasantly surprised. Outside of our Indian offices (which are mostly engineers and have their own unique workforce dynamics, more of which you can read about in our report), 36% of our global workforce are female. That is set to grow, as 52% of all new hires in our non-Indian offices in 2016 were female (up from 43% in 2015).

PubMatic recently released our 2018 Diversity & Inclusion Report highlighting our diversity “numbers” across several key measurements from 2017.
