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

Sujata Tiwari | Author: Against All Odds | Singapore | International Women's Day 2024
Welcome to Wide Angle Conversations DEI Talks. I am your host Taruna Aggarwal, an Executive and Life Coach. My passion is to empower youth and young adults with a Mental Fitness level that will help them to navigate life and impact positive change for the wellbeing of our people and our planet.
My guest in this episode is Sujata Tiwari, an entrepreneur, a Life Mentor, Speaker and Author, based in Singapore. She has had a varied career journey from Journalism to Investigation Detection and Surveillance Consultant, Brand Protection and anti-counterfeiting specialist.
She is the author of Amazon bestselling book 'Against all Odds' an autobiography of her life journey full of challenges no one should have to face. From being stalked by a mafia don as a young mother to the worst nightmare of her daughter's rape and the gruelling court case which the family fought for over 6years in India.
This is not an ordinary book it is an inspiration. Sujata wrote about what others would keep silent about. Her courage, vulnerability and authenticity reflects in every page of her book, and gives the reader courage and hope. She motivates us to speak-up against any injustice or abuse at work, home or society level.
Life does not come with any manual and there is no erasing anything, one has to live with whatever life throws at us, what makes the difference is how we choose to deal with it. Only courage, grit, determination, self-belief and persistence can enable us to live true to our values.
