What we see online often plays a key role in breaking the mould of stereotypes. TV Shows have pushed forth in this domain, be it through the Chess masterpiece in the Queen’s Gambit or the Urdu dramedy in Chudails.

Marginalised groups are often excluded from data, perpetuating systemic invisibility.
Training staff to support mental health crises saves lives and fosters a caring culture.
Active bystander ABCs: Assess safely, Be present (verbally/interposition), Call for authority support. Small actions prevent escalation.
Colourism in Kashmir reflects global biases, privileging lighter skin over diverse beauty. Is it representative of something deeper lying inside?
Financial literacy empowers marginalised groups to overcome systemic wealth disparities.
“Perfect victim” myths obscure truth. Acknowledging varied survivor experiences ensures fair investigations and justice rooted in empathy and evidence.
Diversity & practicality aren’t opposites; true diversity requires practical systems & mindsets to function effectively & deliver real value for everyone involved.
“Diversity” feels complex & overloaded. It needs a refresh – moving beyond buzzwords to embody genuine belonging, equity & actionable understanding for all.
My fear stemmed from ignorance. Facing the unknown taught me empathy’s power & the vital importance of seeking understanding over judgment. Growth starts here.
Diversity isn’t solely gender. It’s a vast spectrum: race, ability, neurodiversity, age, faith, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background & lived experience.
Women’s workplace growth often involves navigating expectations with grace (“smiling”) while pushing boundaries. Recognition & support fuel true advancement, not just pleasantries.
Women in Indian corporate face a triple barrier: unequal pay, denial of key opportunities, & entrenched stereotypes limiting perceived leadership potential. Systemic change needed.
Silence around domestic violence hurts workplaces too. Recognise signs, offer safe support systems & flexible policies to help survivors heal & retain employment.
India’s Domestic Violence Act protects both parties in live-in relationships. Understanding this legal recognition is crucial for safety & seeking rightful recourse.
Cinema often sensationalises domestic violence. Responsible storytelling should highlight realities, survivor strength & pathways to support, not perpetuate myths.
Gaslighting is psychological abuse making victims doubt their reality. Recognise manipulation tactics, trust your instincts & seek support to break free from this.
Women have the right to protection orders, residence, monetary relief & legal aid under India’s Domestic Violence Act. Knowing these enables survivors to be safe.
Consent & boundaries are key. Domestic violence shatters both. Rebuilding starts with respecting autonomy & recognising coercive control as a violation of rights.
Growth isn’t always linear. It’s found in reflection, courage, and community. These stories remind us that change begins when we choose to show up fully and honestly.
When people feel safe, they speak. When they’re heard, they grow. Serein builds that space where awareness isn’t just welcomed, it’s woven into the work.
Borders may divide land, but shared languages, memories, and culture connect hearts. Seeing sameness across lines can be the first step toward healing.
Privilege is what you don’t notice because it protects you. Awareness begins when you do. Change follows when you use it, not just for yourself, but for others.
Career dreams begin in childhood, shaped by gender, family, and context. What we choose and what we leave behind reveals how culture steers ambition over time.
Culture is built through stories, trust, and shared purpose. At Serein, 2017 was a year of learning, belonging, and validation, and a reminder that values scale.
