Shownotes:We all know that countries and cultures are not monolithic and homogeneous. That when we speak about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), we are at different points in our journey; sensitivity and awareness levels may wildly differ from country to country within a region or a continent. So, the drivers for DEI will differ from one geography to another. For practitioners to not force fit HQ policies in local markets, a level of cultural intelligence is critical to understanding this.Over the coming weeks I will share insights from my conversations with DEI leaders and C-Suite from the Indian subcontinent in an attempt to better understand the priorities, socio-cultural barriers, legislation, and best practice. My guest on The Elephant in the Room podcast, this week, is Richa Singh (she/her)  VP HR - D&I; and CSR at Max Life Insurance. In 2020 Richa was featured in the Top 50 Global Ally Executives Outstanding list by Yahoo Finance. In this episode I spoke with Richa about her DEI journey, acknowledging her privilege and becoming an advocate and ally. We also spoke about how organisations could leverage the current buzz around all issues of inclusion and diversity
