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.

IC recommends disciplinary action proportionate to harassment severity. Final implementation rests with the employer, but non-compliance risks legal challenge.
Strategic policies include trauma reporting protocols, bystander empowerment modules, restorative justice options & climate surveys - moving beyond basic compliance.
Tier II training must: use local languages, address regional power structures, involve community leaders & include practical reporting demonstrations.
Key proposals: Mandate external IC members, include transgender protections, penalise non-reporting employers & cover gig/unorganised sectors explicitly.
HR must: Immediately document details, protect complainant from retaliation, preserve evidence & refer to IC within 24 hours - never mediate informally.
Local-language PoSH training breaks barriers: using regional idioms, case studies & multilingual materials ensures accessibility in diverse workplaces.
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.
Domestic violence isn’t random anger; it’s a calculated cycle of tension, abuse, reconciliation & calm, reinforcing the abuser’s power & control over the victim
Evidence in domestic violence cases includes medical reports, photos, threatening messages/emails, witness statements, police records & personal diaries.
Every journey begins with a single step. Serein’s story is one of learning, unlearning, and growing together to create safer, more inclusive workplaces for all.
Sometimes recognition comes in unexpected forms. This story shows how small moments and big honors together shape the journey toward meaningful impact.
Motherhood changes more than routines. It shifts identities, challenges assumptions, and invites deep reflection on who we are beyond the roles we play every day.
Innovations spark when we come together. Serein Meet and Greet creates space to listen, share, and build the trust that makes workplaces stronger and safer for all.
Dr. Ishani Roy reflects on the mentors who shaped her path. Because sometimes, it’s their belief in us that carries us through when we forget our own.
Change takes a team. The Serein Superheroes lead with empathy, act with intent, and remind us that building safer workplaces is everyone’s responsibility.
