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.

Part I explores foundational PoSH Act provisions: employer liabilities, IC constitution & civil-criminal law intersections shaping workplace harassment jurisprudence.
Indian employers must ensure disability-inclusive PoSH mechanisms: accessible reporting, sensory-friendly inquiries & awareness programmes accommodating neurodiverse employees.
The 2019 Act mandates non-discriminatory workplaces, requiring PoSH policies to explicitly protect transgender employees from harassment and ensure equal grievance redressal.
Respondents enjoy rights: receive complaint copy, adequate response time, impartial hearing, representation & appeal. Natural justice principles apply throughout proceedings.
Consent in PoSH hinges on clear, voluntary agreement - absence of "no" doesn't mean "yes". Context, power dynamics & behavioural patterns critically inform assessments.
Both parties must receive equal access to evidence during inquiry, with 10 working days to respond per Rule 7(5) of PoSH Rules 2013.
India’s diversity is its strength. Embracing DEI means actively confronting caste, gender, regional & religious biases to build truly equitable organisations & society.
Qantas leveraged diversity (gender targets, Indigenous engagement) not just ethically, but strategically, linking it directly to innovation & customer connection success.
From “office housework” to pay gaps & mansplaining, subtle (and not-so-subtle) gender bias persists in Indian workplaces. Recognising it is step one.
Generosity – giving time, resources, opportunity – is a powerful D&I act. It requires conscious choice and sustained will to uplift others & build community.
India’s LGBTQIA+ journey: A complex history of hidden love, legal battles & evolving acceptance. Choosing compassion over archaic law is the path forward.
Can tech drive inclusion? Yes! From bias-free AI hiring tools to accessible platforms & virtual ERGs, technology, used mindfully, can bridge gaps & empower.
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.
