Women have long been the backbone of society and lead the way in Indian agriculture too! Their role in driving sustainable farming practices and ensuring food security is vital and unmatched. Despite their significant impact, women in agriculture often face systemic barriers that limit their full potential. We at Avian WE are thrilled to invite you to the virtual launch of our latest report, Addressing Gender Inequality in Agriculture, followed by a dynamic panel discussion thereafter. An initiative by the Social Impact Practice of Avian WE, this report explores the complexities of gender inequality in agriculture, discovers key insights and best practices, and outlines the way forward for agricultural development at the intersection of gender. Join us for this enlightening digital event on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024, at 11:00 AM (IST).

Let's work together to break down barriers and empower women in agriculture! #ReportLaunch #Agriculture #GenderEquality #Women

Today is National Coming Out day, a day to support the LGBTQ community to 'come out' of the closet. So here's my own Coming Out story in an interview with the superbly talented Raga D'silva. But before you watch the video, let's challenge the notion of 'Coming out' and examine two key issues: 🙋♂️Firstly, why should it always be a cross to bear for the LGBTQ community? ✨Secondly, why can't it be about 'Coming in' or 'inviting in'? Let's begin with designing our own purpose and deciding who, how and when to let others 'in'. Sometimes, all we need is that one ally to help us discover our best version and a plan to thrive against any odds. Would you like to explore more?

I’m delighted to share that our growing Collective gained two senior and absolutely invaluable members over the blessed Eid weekend. What’s more, we have our first “special senior” — someone who truly believes that what we’re doing has the potential to sparkle! 1) I’m thrilled to welcome Sanjay Roye AVSM VSM as “Mentor and Special Advisor” and Shivraj Parshad as “Senior Advisor — Executive Coaching”. Admiral Roye, has graciously offered his precious experience as a highly-decorated officer with pioneering leadership roles in the Indian Navy to our growing venture. He is a creative force of nature — published author, photographer extraordinaire, executive coach, master strategist — and his work in the field of social impact + brimming positivity, will not just help us build our executive coaching practice, build on the work we’re doing in the fields of sustainability, ESG, public policy, change leadership and high-impact communication but also act as a powerful guiding force for all of it! 2) Shivraj is the quintessential Dosco to my Welhamite as a year senior from my boarding school days, as the Star News reporter-editor to my IDSA nerd, as the seasoned NDTV journo to my newbie HT print media days, my fellow communication & grammar geek and podcaster. He is a friend, above all else, who also brings oodles of experience and great cheer to help us build our executive coaching, customised business communication interventions, PR and outreach practices. He has been an invaluable sounding board and cheerleader during my long hiatus, and I’m truly happy we will continue to work together!
