It was Vikhroli vive la difference on Thursday evening, as the Godrej India Culture Lab, at the Godrej headquarters, released a manifesto on 'trans inclusion at the workplace'. Very broadly, transgender or trans people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they want medical assistance to transition from one sex to another.
Lab head Parmesh Shahani, was erudite, funny and somber at the right times in his deft handling of the event, which began, with the apt Freddie Mercury number, 'I want to Break Free' resounding in the auditorium. Nisaba Godrej, chairperson Godrej consumer products, said, "Godrej was part of India's swadeshi movement, we were always about equality. We need to reinvent while keeping the equality mantra in mind."
