“Not just allyship, but active allyship,” emphasized Parmesh Shahani, Head - Godrej DEi Lab, during an engaging conversation recently hosted at our Mumbai office. In this thought-provoking session for our employees and contract staff, Parmesh provided a candid perspective on what companies need to do to be truly inclusive 🌈 . He stated, “Several studies reveal that companies that are inclusive and support the queer community do better across the world.” Parmesh urged companies to take meaningful actions for an inclusive workplace, which perfectly resonated with our philosophy of “Energy in action." Parmesh further discussed the growing awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community, highlighting that inclusion has always been a part of Indian culture. He explained the cost of inaction towards inclusion and encouraged everyone to model inclusive behavior. For us at Apraava, this conversation sparked and heightened our awareness of the community's needs and issues. Parmesh envisions a world where the queer community doesn’t just receive crumbs but enjoys significant pieces of the rainbow cake, just like everyone else. We also extend our gratitude to Anupama Easwaran (She, Her) for moderating such a captivating and enjoyable conversation. #ApraavaEnergy #EnergyInAction #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Allyship #LGBTQIA+

Pride Month celebrations at Apraava took a melodious turn with the performance of Rushik Thakkar, a talented musician and an ally whose captivating voice and guitar strings had us all moving and humming along. With songs from the 80s to his own music, Rushik took us on a trip filled with harmonies. Rushik shared an important life lesson with us: keep developing your talent and don't let the opinions of others hold you back. He aspires to become a lead guitarist in a band one day, and we are wholeheartedly rooting for him. But that's not all—we were also treated to delicious snacks hosted by The Trans Café, Mumbai's first transperson-run cafe. Learning about their journey and how they support the community was humbling, and we couldn't resist trying the Pink chai. #ApraavaEnergy #EnergyInAction #Pridemonth #LGBTQPride #Pride Anupama Easwaran (She, Her) Deepa Sebastian Pamesh Rasania Prachi Jawale Gayatri Aravind Madhurima Gupta Mayuri Wade Lalitha Ganesh Poonam Khanvilkar
