Can One False PoSH Complaint Destroy Your Career? The truth about India's Se*ual Harassment Law

Описание: Can a single workplace complaint end a career?
Can a man file a PoSH complaint against a woman?
What happens when a complaint turns out to be false?

India passed the PoSH Act in 2013 under massive public pressure following the Delhi gang rape case. But 13 years later — is the law actually working? Is it protecting the women it was built for? And what happens when it gets misused?

In this episode of Insider Opinion, we sit down with Rashmi Amrit Raj — PoSH Compliance Specialist, External IC Member, and Founder of Nexzen Training Academy — for the most honest, unfiltered conversation about workplace sexual harassment law in India that you will find anywhere on the internet.

Rashmi has spent 15 years training Internal Committees at RBI, SBI, NTPC, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Teleservices, and hundreds of startups and PSUs across India. She has sat inside real inquiry rooms. Investigated real complaints. And seen firsthand what happens when this system works — and when it gets weaponised.
