The Department of Psychology invited Ms. Aradhana Lal, leader of Sustainability and ESG Initiatives at Lemon Tree Hotels, to speak on Inclusion as a Lived Experience- Gender and Disability at the Workplace on 19 March 2026. Ms. Lal, an alumna of the BCom department of LSR, spoke about the need and advantages of inclusive work environments, including greater efficiency and lower attrition rates. She also shared the mechanisms adopted at Lemon Tree to foster inclusivity, such as sensitization training for the workforce and teaching each employee Indian sign language. Ms. Lal discussed inclusion not as an add-on concept but as a successful business plan that the Lemon Tree Hotels chain has pursued for the last 19 years. Lemon Tree has partnered with several NGOs working in the disability sector to assist in the training of disabled employees.
