Religion at Work: Positive or Problematic?

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of expressing religion in the workplace, featuring insights from Vijaya Vishwanathan on policy frameworks and fairness in diverse environments.

Should religion be expressed at work? Recent debates around TCS, IndiGo, and Lenskart raise critical questions about what employees can and cannot do, and whether rules are applied fairly. Vijaya Vishwanathan, Trustee of the Infinity Foundation, unpacks these issues—examining policy frameworks, exposing implementation gaps, and defining what genuine neutrality should look like in India’s diverse workplaces. Hosted by Sree Iyer of PGurus, this discussion offers informed insights into corporate policy, fairness, and workplace diversity.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए…
