“Growing up, I always imagined I’d automatically become a girl when I grew older. Despite facing bullying, I knew education was my path forward. I topped my exams, finished my degree, and earned respect.”

From finding her community with the help of PeriFerry, to her golden days at Infosys Mangalore, Ananya’s journey shows the power of resilience.

Today, she shines in an inclusive workplace where her preferred name is honored, her work is valued equally, and she’s truly seen for who she is.

Reflecting on an afternoon dedicated to action, empathy, and workplace equity.

The Pune edition of the Citi x PeriFerry Advisory Labs at the Citi Solution Center, supported by NHRD Pune chapter, was a testament to what happens when corporate leaders and Inclusion advocates come together with a shared purpose. From powerful storytelling to strategic brainstorming, the energy in the room was focused on one goal: making “Pride at Work” a lived reality.

Highlights from the Session:

Impactful Storytelling: A screening of “Amma’s Pride” sparked vital reflections on the intersections of family, identity, and support.

Expert Insights: A deep dive into inclusive leadership during our panel discussion with Dipsi Kundal, Priyankar Podder, and Tanvi Nair. Their perspectives on navigating inclusion in the modern workplace provided everyone with actionable takeaways.

Collaborative Strategy: The Focused Group Advisory sessions turned ideas into blueprints, as participants brainstormed ways to strengthen sensitization and allyship within their own organizations.

Sensitization is a continuous journey, and sessions like these are the milestones that keep us moving forward. A huge thank you to the Citi team and all our participants for their commitment to building more inclusive spaces.

16/03/2026

The “Statement of Objects and Reasons” in this Bill is the ultimate betrayal. It claims that the law was “never intended” to protect anyone who chooses to live authentically. As a self-perceived transgender woman, seeing the phrase “no choice of their own” used as a condition for protection makes me wonder why we are hated this much.

The government suggests that because our identity is “self-perceived,” our struggle is somehow optional. They clearly don’t see the reality. I didn’t “choose” to fear for my life every time I step out of a safe space. I didn’t “choose” to leave my hometown or leave behind everyone I’ve ever known just to exist. Wanting to live authentically isn’t a “fault” or a “mistake” it is a human necessity.

This Bill isn’t just about administrative changes. It is a well-crafted document of deep-rooted hate. By claiming we were “never meant to be protected,” the state is attempting to “un-person” us. This feels like a strategic move to weaken our Constitution and mirror the wave of erasure we see happening globally.

To be clear, traditional socio-cultural identities deserve every bit of protection and care they can get. But rights are not a zero-sum game. Giving them to one group doesn’t require snatching them from another. We have all been marginalized and we have all been resilient. To pit us against each other by “ranking” our trauma is cruel.

There is no “lack of knowledge” here. Those who frame the laws of our land are not ignorant they are intentional. If the people in power are using tax rupees to draft transphobic scripts that target an already suppressed community, the system is rotten to its core and whoever drafted this bill deserves a generous jail time. You cannot delete a community by omitting a sentence from a law. We exist, we have always existed, and no amount of “legislative policy” can change the truth of who we are.
