Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting an inspiring virtual fireside chat, “Men Shaping Inclusive Futures: Leadership, Legacy, and Empowerment,” in celebration of International Men's Day (19th Nov). Huge thanks to our speakers, Saiesh Natarajan, Engineering Manager, India and Francis Njiru, Head of Internal Audit, East Africa, for sharing their insights on how men can play a pivotal role in fostering inclusive leadership and empowering workplaces, with Nishchita Purushothama Patel moderating the discussion. Here are key highlights from the discussion: ✅ Acknowledging diverse experiences and backgrounds is the first step to providing equal opportunities ✅ Inclusive leadership is about providing equal recognition, in addition to equal opportunities ✅ Diversity goes beyond just being a hiring metric. Diversity also means the variety in ideas and experiences ✅ Upcoming generations of leaders take inclusivity very seriously. They must stay on this path and keep themselves updated with the ever-evolving world of inclusivity Here are some glimpses from yesterday’s conversation. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to champion leadership that uplifts and empowers!
