Aparna Mittal, a former partner at AZB & Partners in the corporate and mergers and acquisitions practice, has founded the Samāna Centre for Gender, Policy and Law. The organization is primarily involved in promoting gender mainstreaming and gender capacity building.
Mittal’s focus will not be on law firms, but instead on companies, philanthropic entities, trade bodies and other professional organizations that need to be aware of gender mainstreaming and capacity building, either as part of their philanthropic or corporate social responsibility work or through their internal human resources policies. Specific to the latter, “My job here is two-fold,” Mittal told India Business Law Journal.
“[It is what you as a company] are supposed to do legally and what you should do beyond that to make it a better workplace at par with international best practices.” The centre will also take up selective interventions aimed at reform of law and policy in this area.
