“The experience was truly insightful and enriching. The training content was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion. The faculty were knowledgeable and engaging. The whole thing was presented in such a nice way that it was easy to understand and relate to. The opportunity to share our experiences and the honest conversations made the session more worthy.”

Subramanian RamanathanVice President HR, The Hindu Group

“To me, this training was an eye-opener wherein I came to know about the new aspects of workspace challenges and learned how to face them, an exceptionally new age thinking added to my skill.”

“It was incredibly enlightening and enriching. The approach of curriculum was thoughtfully designed, fostering deep engagement & critical thinking. It has broadened my horizon, and I can apply it in various aspects of life.”

Gaurav ShahHead HR, NDTV Group

“The experience has been eye opening for me. There were so many concepts that unraveled even though I thought I had read and heard a lot of voices advocating DEI. It was also very interesting to interact with other leaders in the same industry as me and hear their thoughts, excitement and apprehensions in bringing a DEI policy to the media industry.”

Megha MamgainManaging Editor, Health & Lifestyle, Jagran New Media

“Feel confident and empowered to be a DEI champion and create the DEI roadmap in my organization.”

Devleena S MajumderPresident & Network Head HR, TV9 Network

“All the sections were explained in in-depth detail and it helped me understand the concept of DEI, the readiness to initiate it and the effort and commitment that needs to be put in [to] drive the goal for the business. The curriculum is crucial as it is a start to ensure the process and understanding for me and those I may impart my knowledge to is accurate and implemented in a defined manner.”

Gayatri GopakumarLead- Human Resources, Asianet News Media and Entertainment Pvt Ltd

“This was a sincere effort at not only improving the awareness but also creating an impact on the DEI quotient in the organization. I had come in with limited knowledge on how to improve and work upon DEI, I leave the course enriched and empowered to tackle DEI in a strategic manner and make a positive impact.”

Sidharth SinhaHead HR, HT Digital Streams
