    Caste at Work

    In this episode, Sujatha and Deepak are in conversation with Pratap Tambe and Christina Dhanuja about caste.

    Leadership Ascent and Biological Distress: Opening the Black Box of Menopause at Work

    In this episode, Sujatha, Deepak and Amoolya talk to Reena Dayal, about a topic that we tend to tiptoe around, menopause! Specifically, about what happens in the world of work when a woman, typically in her 40s and 50s, on her way to leadership positions, is beset by menopause. Is it a death knell to the ambitious aspirations of those women, or an inflection point, which can give rise to positive transformation and determine the next phase of her life? We discuss how menopause is defined, the diverse experiences of women going through it, and about what workplaces are doing and can do about this. Reena is a leadership development coach with more than 2 decades of experience in international corporate HR, who has been coaching mid-career women using insights from neuroscience.
