Wide Angle Conversations: DEI Talks
Wide Angle Conversations: DEI Talks are meaningful conversations with champions and advocates of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and those who are committed to bringing about a positive change in their sphere of influence.
Our increasingly diverse yet connected world must shift towards being empathetic and inclusive. Building a culture of inclusion is an imperative for the future of work; a focus on building Inclusive Cultures will enable organisations and individuals to leverage diverse perspectives and thought processes to power innovation and thrive in the BANI world.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a multidimensional, multilayered and complex topic. I believe to be truly a DEI advocate, champion and change-maker one has to value empathy, fairness and equality and be truly human-centric. DEI at workplaces will becomes easier if we focus on building an inclusive, fair and equitable society.
This for me brings social inclusion, wellbeing, youth empowerment, culture, corporate responsibility and sustainability under the purview of DEI. And these are the topics that Wide Angle Conversations will bring to you.
Wide Angle Conversations is an initiative of Life by Design with Taruna Aggarwal

Welcome to Wide Angle Conversations - DEI talks. I am your host Taruna Aggarwal.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is a multidimensional, multi layered and complex topic. I believe to be truly a DEI advocate, champion and change-maker one has to value empathy, fairness and equality and be truly human centric. DEI at the workplace will becomes easier if we focus on building an inclusive, fair and equitable society. This for me brings, social inclusion, wellbeing, youth empowerment, culture, corporate responsibility and sustainability under the wider purview of DEI. And these are the topics that Wide Angle Conversations podcast will bring to you.
My guest for this episode is Aarti Kelshikar, an intercultural consultant and coach with over fifteen years of work experience in India, Singapore, and the Philippines. She is the author of two books. Her first book - How India Works talks about Complex Corporate Culture in India and how best to navigate it.
Her second book How Women Work – Fitting in and Standing Out in Asia, is an insight into the world of women leadership with a Pan-Asia lens that has hardly been covered so far. She has interviewed over 60 women leaders from six different countries in Asia, capturing a diversity of voices, the cultural nuances, the challenges faced and how they thrive, balancing fitting in and standing out. A must-read book for all and before I get carried away let’s talk to Aarti.
