The idea of social and economic justice wasn’t invented in a boardroom – it was dreamed up and fought for throughout the world. It’s what gives us in India our constitutional values. It’s part of the laws that Indian workplaces have to follow, and it’s something Indians take very seriously.   That’s how we come by our ideas of DEI. But what’s it like in the rest of the world? Today, Parmesh Shahani is in conversation with Dr. Rohini Anand, a trailblazer in the world of DEI. Dr. Anand is the author of Leading Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and a globally recognised expert whose journey has taken her from academia to corporate boardrooms.   Dr. Anand reflects on her cultural shocks upon moving to the United States, her transition into corporate DEI work at Sodexo, and the pivotal gender balance case study that demonstrated the business value of inclusion. The conversation delves into how DEI efforts must be contextualised to local cultures, the importance of intersectionality, and the need for organisations to embed DEI into their core processes with measurable outcomes.    Tune in as they explore the evolving global landscape of DEI and how external factors like societal movements and backlash shape its progress. Hear how Dr. Anand’s insights and experiences offer actionable strategies for leaders and organisations to create inclusive, equitable workplaces that stand the test of time.   Learn more about the Godrej DEI Lab and our work at https://www.godrejdeilab.com/.   Our Guest: Rohini Anand   Find the Lab on social media: Instagram Linkedin   Email us at [email protected] / [email protected]   This is a Maed In India Production; check us out at www.maedinindia.in Creative Director: Mae Mariyam Thomas Project Manager: Shaun Fanthome Head of Audio Production: Kartik Kulkarni Producer: Meghna Gulati  Sound Editing & Mixing: Nihar Temkar
