Women’s Day at BYJU’S this year was definitely more than just celebrating women for a day. It was also about indulging in some serious conversations around thought-provoking topics, raising awareness against bias, standing together in a show of solidarity, celebrating fun moments together and so much more!
We commenced the month on a powerful note, as BYJUites joined the #breakthebias movement, the IWD theme for 2022, where they crossed their arms and smashed all stereotypes.
Ahead of Women’s Day, we celebrated a Week of Inclusion with four incredible workshops. These sessions helped BYJUites de-stress and educated them about new areas of topics.
The Body Scan Meditation was a perfect way to help BYJUites escape mid-week blues and unwind a little. It helped develop a better awareness of our body’s physical sensations and how they change with our emotions and vice versa.
BYJUites learned guided mindfulness-based stress reduction meditation along with intuitive therapeutic massage techniques creating deep relaxation and some perspective.

Bhoomika Halemane guided us through an impactful session on identifying the common, harmful unconscious biases and how we can lessen the influence of those preconceptions on our interactions.
A communication series on Unconscious Biases was shared with BYJUites. The series threw light on the different kinds of biases we may experience, their impact, and how we can be conscious about it to better our conversations.

This March was certainly an exciting time for BYJU’S as we created the Anthem, Halla Mache De for Women’s Cricket World Cup and BYJUites got an exclusive discount to shop their favorite ICC merchandise.
Not only this but BYJU’S also released their Women’s Day special film. The film throws light on how women of yesterday helped shape the women of today. The women of today own the responsibility to define the future of women of tomorrow.
