Quest Software India Pride Month Film Screening and Fireside Chat on Allyship and Inclusion

Programming example

🌈 Pride with Purpose: A Celebration of Visibility, Voice & Allyship 🌈This Pride Month, at Quest Software (India), we came together for a heartfelt virtual screening of a powerful short film "What's In A Name?" in collaboration with Pride Circle Preksha Bothra Shruti Sharma Koni and Quest Software's Pride Employee Resource Group (ERG) — followed by an impactful fireside chat with the lead actor Vani Baraskar. The conversation went beyond the screen — touching on lived experiences, identity, microaggressions, and the subtle biases that LGBTQIA+ individuals often navigate in both personal and professional spaces. It was a timely reminder of how empathy, awareness, and action can collectively shift workplace culture. 🏳️‍🌈 A heartfelt thank you to our Global Pride ERG members Joseph Parks CJ Salgado CJ Gregorios for championing such initiatives and helping create safe and supportive spaces where every voice matters.🌟 A big shoutout to Shilpa M. for beautifully organizing a hi-tea gathering and a local Pride Month celebration at Hyderabad office post the screening — a perfect way to bring people together in solidarity and joy. We are grateful to Chris Darby, (MAHRI) for his constant support and encouragement in driving meaningful inclusion initiatives like these.🤝 As allies, our role is not passive. It’s about using our voice when it’s easier to stay silent. As the saying goes: "Ally is a verb. It's not who you are — it's what you do." As an Ally:🔹 Listen without judgment🔹 Challenge stereotypes or casual jokes that marginalize🔹 Use inclusive language and respecting pronouns🔹 Support queer-led initiatives and businesses🔹 Being visible in your support — especially when it matters mostEvery gesture — virtual or in-person — helps build a workplace where everyone feels seen, respected, and empowered to be their authentic selves.It’s these collective efforts that continue to shape a more inclusive, empathetic, and equitable workplace for all. Let’s continue to learn, unlearn, and take action — because inclusion is not a destination, it's a journey we walk together. 🏳️‍🌈✨hashtag#PrideWithPurpose hashtag#Pride2025 hashtag#LGBTQInclusion hashtag#PrideCircle hashtag#ERGImpact hashtag#StrongerTogether hashtag#InclusiveWorkplace hashtag#BiasAwareness hashtag#BreakTheBias hashtag#Microaggressions hashtag#BeAnAlly hashtag#IndiaForInclusion hashtag#QueerVoicesMatter hashtag#DiversityEquityInclusion hashtag#WorkplacePride hashtag#GlobalAllyship hashtag#CelebrateAuthenticity hashtag#HumanFirstCulture hashtag#TogetherWeRise hashtag#BelongingAtWork hashtag#VoicesOfPride hashtag#SupportDontAssume hashtag#AllyshipInActionHere is a Glimpse of it!
