DEI is not a role I play. It’s the lens I see the world through - at work and beyond.
An MBA in HR from XIM Bhubaneswar, I bring over 10 years of rich experience in HR transformation, and DEI strategy. My work lies at the intersection of compliance, culture, and compassion.
I enable inclusive, equitable, and safe workplaces by partnering with organizations to embed practices that outlast any checklist. Whether it’s rewriting policies, crafting a roadmap, or launching a community-driven program - I believe in sustainable, people-first impact.
My approach is immersive: I come in, understand the business, co-create with the teams, and drive culture transformation at scale. I’m not an outsider ticking boxes — I embed myself into the ecosystem and deliver change from within.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve had the privilege of working with companies like Hindustan Unilever, ABFRL, Eide Bailly, Glenmark, and Vedanta. My areas of work include:
✅ Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Strategy
✅ Gender Sensitization & Inclusive Manager Programs
✅ PwD & & LGBTQ+ Allyship & Awareness
✅ Community-Building Initiatives for Working Women
As a mother of a toddler, I bring not just my expertise but my lived experience to the table. Long before I became a parent, I worked with many, designing policies, building support systems, and shaping inclusive return-to-work journeys, and I now navigate the same journeys.
I also actively contribute to causes I care deeply about, including women in leadership, parenting equity, and LGBTQ+ allyship. Since Apr’24, I have been volunteering as a Community Manager at Lean In Mumbai Network.
Along the way, I’ve been humbled to receive recognitions including:
▶️Amongst 22 Women Achievers of 2022 by HR Association of India
▶️Entrepreneur of the Year 2021 by Global Youth Mental Health Awareness Inc.
▶️Multiple internal recognitions at Glenmark and Vedanta
These are awards I’ve personally been bestowed with - and beyond this I am proud that many of the organizations I’ve worked with have also been celebrated for the DEI and HR work we’ve built together.
I believe in the power of conversation, collaboration, and inclusive design. And I love the energy of working with diverse teams who care about creating real impact.
If you’re looking to build a more inclusive workplace — or just want to swap stories about culture, inclusion, and change — I’m always up for a chat. Drop me a message or write to me at goel.rsh@gmail.com
