In India, a woman is reportedly a victim of a crime every two minutes and is raped every 15 minutes. Consider this figure over 24 hours, seven days, and 365 days a year, keeping in mind that majority of such cases go unreported. The number is distressing and should jolt us from the state of ignorance we live in, as a society.
According to a survey by ActionAid, 84 percent of the 500 respondents from major Indian metros reported having experienced harassment. Most of the participants were working women or female students aged between 25-35 years old. These women are largely dependent on taxis, buses and ride-sharing services for their daily transits. Sadly, an overwhelmingly large number of Indian women have encountered sexual harassment while using public transport.
With the era of technology influencing every aspect of our life, today’s woman is at an interesting threshold. Gone are the days when a damsel in distress would wait for her prince charming to arrive and save her. As we wait for the society’s mindset to change, women now have to take control and be cautious about their own safety.

Turian Labs: Perfecting Design Thinking to Strategic Foresights
‘Empathy is the new strategy’- the mnemonic has been doing the rounds. Empathy is the hallmark of a new method that walked into the strategy domain in the last decade, popularised by the term ‘Design Thinking.’ Design Thinking came in to fill the void created by over-dependence upon data and systems in the industrialized society. Bringing a shift in perspective for defining the ‘real’ problem by zooming in on ‘people’ or ‘stakeholders’ instead of the data alone. One pioneering business organization that was established with this mindset engraved into its soul is Turian Labs. The name, Turian, is derived from the Sanskrit ‘Turiya’, which is the ‘fourth state of consciousness’ as mentioned in Indian philosophy. Turian Labs believes that the world needs holistic thinking today more than ever as knowledge fields are rather too dithered and hence businesses tend to be myopic on several counts.
