Testimonials

"I would like to thank you for conducting a thought provoking and impactful session on gender intelligence for the senior management team of Hindalco at Mumbai. Our senior management team really learned some new insights that should help understand gender intelligence and harness the full potential for both gender in our organization. I have attended many gender diversity forums but your session gave me a new perspective. "

"First, let me begin by thanking you for being such a strong role model in the field of Inclusion for our country. Getting to know you and your personal journey has been inspiring, and I commend you for leveraging your own experiences and learning as a force for good. At Unilever, we are committed to embed inclusion not just in our thoughts but in our actions, and I am glad my leadership team had the opportunity to be coached by you."

Ask Insights and Dr. Niru have also helped to customize many sessions for us, focusing on diverse set of audiences for different audiences. Thank you Dr. Niru for helping me and my team for not only be at a better place in terms of themes of Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging but also being a better person in life."

I have realised that your sessions have touched me profoundly. You have a wonderful knack for gently nudging our biases and directing their course correction without rubbing it hard. CXO’s. Me and my colleagues in Jubilant can vouch for the need and relevance This is the kind of wakeup call that is need of the hour among all CEO’s and of your sessions across the industry.

Thank you Dr Niru Kumar for taking our women leaders through several batches of six month development journey. It means a lot to us and strengthens our organization’s backbone for taking future challenges. It has been delighting to hear very warm transformative feedback about the program from the participants. I also received equally revealing feedback from participants' supervisors who now observe high confidence, aspiration and willingness to take higher initiatives.

I have had the privilege to work with Dr Niru Kumar for more than 5 years. In my previous organization (PepsiCo) and also currently in Medtronic, she had the profound impact on my team in terms of their thought process and helped us in our journey on DE&I. It’s not one session, but the whole journey has made me and my team transform and think differently. She is an authentic and genuine leader and that’s what makes the connection with People.

I wanted to take a moment and sincerely thank you, Dr. Niru and your amazing team at Ask Insights for delivering such an informative and well-coordinated event. Mental Health Awareness is a key area of focus for us at Concentrix and to be able to deliver such a holistic roadshow covering various aspects of the mental health spectrum in one go, is commendable. The external speakers lined up to talk about the various illnesses were truly best in class and explained their content simply for our teams to understand.

Dr Niru has played a stellar role in our D&I journey. The deep and meaningful work that she has done on gender intelligence and inclusive leadership has created a huge impact in the organization. I really value her partnership and her commitment to make a genuine difference to this agenda and more importantly impacting people in different ways.

As a part of our Inclusion and diversity strategy, we engaged with Ask Insights to run a capability development program for our people managers as well as women associates. Dr Niru and her team did a great job in getting the groups together, generating some insightful conversations and sharing very useful and practical suggestions with the participants. The programs received very positive feedback from the participants. This is a topic that requires continuous dialogue and skill building, and this program has made a great contribution towards that objective.

You brought a lot of valuable experience and relevant examples on to the table accompanied by your poise and engaging style of story-telling. You were able to hold the group together and stated enriching facts for all situations to bring in the relatability factor. Your knowledge and command over the subject is commendable. My team has emerged more intelligent and aware about the differences of the genders and how to be more acceptable and respectful of each other.

Your subject matter expertise was excellent, the method followed was engaging and we ended with some really thoughtful strategies and practical ideas to implement going forward with respect to our diversity and inclusion program. We know this is a journey, not the end state and I thank you for your support in getting us off to what I am sure will be a memorable and inspiring end goal.
