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.

Extending PoSH compliance to India's vast informal sector requires tailored awareness, accessible reporting & community-led safety initiatives.
Essential compliance: Form ICs, conduct training, display notices, file annual reports & establish transparent grievance procedures per PoSH Act.
Biased data harms treatment outcomes; inclusive research improves care for all genders.
Ethical workplaces respect boundaries: professional conduct supersedes personal relationships. Harassment often starts with boundary violations excused as "culture".
Language shapes how we see the world. Indian languages may not say LGBTQIA+ in familiar ways, but they hold unique stories that invite us to listen and understand deeper.
Linguistic gaps reflect cultural barriers to fully expressing queer identities in regional tongues. Here's the first part of the story:
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.
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.
