Mentoring And Coaching

At Ananya-Women@Work, we aspire to create a professional environment where every woman is recognized, supported, and encouraged to reach her full potential. We advocate for the transformative impact of mentorship to change lives and create a more inclusive and equitable workplace for everyone.

Our initiative, Mentoring Matters, is meticulously designed to bridge the representation gap faced by underrepresented groups within organizations. This initiative is more than just a program, it’s a crucial journey of growth for both mentors and mentees. Focused on experiential learning, Mentoring Matters accelerates the acquisition and practical application of new skills, seamlessly integrating them into the organizational framework to promote professional and personal growth.

Ananya-Women@work was founded by Madhujit Singh, the visionary CEO of Ananya-Women@Work, and Sita Pallachola, the pioneering founder of Angel Hub, MentoRite stands as an innovative platform set to transform the mentorship landscape, especially for women and underrepresented groups. At its core, the MentoRite methodology—ASK, APPROACH, ALIGN—mentors and mentees on the nuances of the mentoring process.

In addition to mentorship, our Inclusion Coaching program plays a crucial role in guiding organizational cultures toward increased equity. This program equips professionals, particularly those in leadership positions, to reflect on their perspectives and biases, understand their impact on workplace dynamics, and consciously embrace inclusivity. It’s an essential tool for developing leaders who not only recognize the value of diversity but are also ready to actively champion it.
