Aditi Sharma openly discusses being woman of colour in banking, how she’s building a diverse and inclusive design culture, and why she’s used design to dismantle injustices.

Highlights include:

⭐ Do you carry the weight of patriarchally imposed stigma on your shoulders? ⭐ Was it personally risky to help bring female condoms to women in India? ⭐ Is it fair to characterise the banking industry as a boys’ club? ⭐ Why isn’t design seen as the most important or credible voice in the room? ⭐ What do aspiring design leaders need to know about design leadership?
