Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

A lot of our answers for Inclusion come from the West

“I’m talking about organisational research, management and the like; they’re nearly always talking about research based in the US, UK, Europe, certainly a Western context”

 India may have answers that haven’t been considered yet

“When you read the paper, you don’t need to be convinced that hard. The authors says that Diversity is a hallmark of Indian society”

 Other Non Western countries may have answers too

“This paper is quite clear about the limitations of the universal applicability of western management theories and practices””
