A Delhi University ranker from Hansraj College- Mathematics (H), Sonica did her post-graduation in HR from the prestigious XLRI. She started her career with a sound understanding of business where she went route-riding with Pepsico. Sonica was part of the team that launched Pepsi 200 ml at Rs 5. She was the first lady HR Manager stationed at a factory in Upcountry UP and there the seeds to her diversity practice were born.
Sonica is a passionate advocator of diversity. As a woman professional, Sonica has both experienced and observed gender-based bias closely. Every woman in the workspace experiences this at some time or the other.
This has prompted her to launch her diversity practice. ‘Organisations need to move ahead of the curve and drive inclusive teams and mindsets, gender-sensitive processes,’ she says.

Vidhya came home with Riya. She was surprised to see the same expectations from her that were before from having a child. Nothing had changed, and she felt that nothing would ever change.
Vidhya was just like any other normal girl who grew up reading Cinderella and Rapunzel, wishing to meet her Prince charming someday. Though not a topper, she scored well in school and college and fulfilled her parent’s dream by joining as HR in a reputed financial firm.
After she settled in her career path, her parents began their hunt to find the perfect groom and complete their responsibility in life. Finally, after seeking permission from the stars in her chart, they fixed her wedding with Rahul, who according to them, got a tick for most of their eligibility criteria. She obliged and got married to him as per their wish.
Mothers do things for you out of love, so please treat them with respect and dignity at your home, especially in front of your in laws, and ask your in laws to share responsibilities.
Motherhood isn’t just a word. It’s a world in itself…of love, labor and commitment that goes beyond a lifetime, when we don’t really have a concept of flying the nest and mothers are required to be battle ready to shoulder every responsibility at any age.
As a new mom I too had my share of struggles like every woman, and reached out to my mom for help. Sadly, since she had health issues of her own she agreed reluctantly and was uneasy throughout her stay, which disappointed me. Only later did I know that she had suffered from serious menopausal problems that made her edgy and nervous in difficult situations, and it left me with a sense of regret of not taking the effort of understanding her troubles.
Women returning to work after a break are finally getting the respect and support they deserve! The Diversity Drive 2016 awaits you with opportunities galore.
Women professionals who’ve taken a short or extended career break from their professional roles and at some point decide to return to work, either part-time, full-time or flexibly often find it difficult.
Organisations doubt their commitment, just because they have kids or elders to take care of. Even if they get an opportunity to work, they are the last ones to be considered for promotions or appraisals.
Many women in the technology sector take a break for motherhood, but are keen to return and thrive. Three successful returnees share their inspiring stories!
Being an ambitious woman in India is almost an act of rebellion. Even today, we don’t see nearly as many women as men in the professional sphere. While India has the highest number of female STEM graduates in the world, women constitute only 14% of the total scientists, engineers, and technologists employed in Research and Development institutions in the country.
The root of this issue goes down to society’s gender norms that consider childcare and housework the exclusive domain of women. For long, a woman’s professional success wasn’t considered significant, since it is men who are seen as the primary breadwinners of the family.
