        abstract = {If we talk about current scenarios of Indian corporate houses, the progress of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is crucial for fostering a work environment that recognizes and values differences in gender, age, race, ability, culture, and other aspects. The Indian government has launched various legislative efforts designed to foster an inclusive work environment. Nonetheless, challenges remain in the full implementation of DEI principles throughout different industries. Cloud computing offers a groundbreaking tool that enables virtual collaboration among a varied workforce, effectively tackling these challenges. This research examines how cloud computing influences the enhancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion in Indian companies, specifically highlighting virtual collaboration tools. Cloud computing allows for adaptable work setups, permitting people from various locations, backgrounds, and capabilities to engage equally. The study explores how cloud-based tools, such as online meetings, file-sharing services, and collaboration platforms, enhance an inclusive work environment by encouraging the integration of diverse skills. Furthermore, cloud technologies improve fair access to vital resources, training, and career growth opportunities, guaranteeing that every employee, regardless of their backgrounds, has the essential tools for success. The research also highlights the alignment between cloud computing and India's legal framework regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It examines the possibility of technology to enhance compliance with existing regulations while promoting sustainable diversity efforts. Through analyzing the effects of cloud computing, this study demonstrates the profound influence technology can exert in fostering a more inclusive, fair, and varied corporate culture in India.},
