From Complaint to Conclusion — know how to lead an IC.
A curriculum shaped with legal nuance,
cultural context, and the academic heritage of
Asia’s oldest law school – Government Law College, Mumbai.
You will
You will:
You may know the basics of compliance.
But leadership in PoSH isn’t about
memorizing the Act.
It’s about knowing what to say in the
moment that matters.
This course is designed to prepare you
for that moment—
the hard client meeting,
the tricky internal inquiry,
the case that challenges your clarity.
You don’t just leave with a certificate.
You leave ready—with legal confidence,
cultural fluency,
and a clear edge over anyone
who did a "quick training".
Not Just a Course.
A Journey to PoSH Mastery.
Across 11 immersive modules, you’ll understand PoSH not just as an act but as a living compliance framework. You’ll trace its history, break down its clauses, interpret real case law, and simulate what it truly takes to lead a legally sound internal inquiry.
The curriculum is intentionally sequenced—starting with cultural roots, building into practical compliance mechanics, and ending with judgment-based thinking that builds your voice as a credible External Member.
Whether you’re preparing to advise a company, join an IC, or build a PoSH advisory practice, this is the course that doesn’t just teach—it prepares.

Unpack 25 precedent-setting judgments that define the current legal landscape of workplace harassment and DEI. Learn to extract the ratio decidendi and how to apply it as an External Member.
