Div Pillay, CEO of MindTribes and Co-Founder of Culturally Diverse Women shares her Diwali spirit with Dilpreet Taggar and Preeti Jabbal in this episode of 'My Diwali'. Div discusses how the true spirit of the festival is rooted in caring, sharing, and spreading happiness. We also explore what an inclusive celebration of Diwali looks like, its commercial benefits in Australia, and strategies for workplaces to embrace diversity and equity.


We are seeing that cultural diversity, multiculturalism and also the celebration and sharing of cultures have become somewhat tokenised and that is a bit worrying.
