When professional excellence from Indore earns recognition on a national platform, it becomes more than an individual achievement, it becomes a moment of pride for the city.
Adv. Gazal Kothari Daga has been conferred with the prestigious “PoSH Consultant of the Year” award at the 4th National PoSH Conclave & Excellence Awards 2026, organised by NoMeansNo Foundation with the support of the Government of Delhi, Department of Women & Child Development.
The recognition celebrates her contribution to the field of Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) and her work towards helping organisations build safer, more aware, and more responsible workplaces.
The Work Behind the Award
Awards often capture a moment. Behind that moment lies years of expertise, commitment, and consistent work.
As a legal professional specialising in the PoSH ecosystem, Adv. Gazal Kothari Daga works at the intersection of law, workplace safety, awareness, sensitisation, and organisational compliance. Her work focuses on helping organisations understand not only what the law requires, but why creating a safe and respectful workplace must become an integral part of organisational culture.
Her recognition as PoSH Consultant of the Year therefore represents more than a professional title. It reflects the growing importance of specialised expertise in creating workplaces where dignity, safety, and accountability are treated as fundamental values.
Why This Award Matters
The conversation around workplace harassment has evolved significantly in India. Today, organisations are increasingly expected to move beyond compliance and actively create environments where employees feel safe to speak, report, and seek support.
This makes the role of PoSH professionals particularly important.
Their work connects legislation with awareness, policy with implementation, and compliance with culture.
The national recognition received by Gazal Kothari Daga comes at a time when these conversations are becoming increasingly important across India’s professional ecosystem.
A Moment of Pride for Indore
For Indore, the achievement is particularly significant.
The city is increasingly producing professionals whose work is gaining recognition beyond Madhya Pradesh in business, healthcare, law, education, entrepreneurship, technology, and social impact.
Gazal’s achievement adds another important chapter to that story. It demonstrates that expertise built in Indore can create impact at a national level.
Beyond the Trophy
The real value of an award is not the trophy, it is the conversation it creates. The “PoSH Consultant of the Year” recognition brings attention to an important message: workplace safety cannot be treated as a formality. It requires knowledge. It requires continuous awareness. And most importantly, it requires a culture where dignity and respect are non-negotiable.
Gazal Kothari Daga’s recognition is therefore not only a celebration of her professional journey, but also a reminder of the growing responsibility organisations have towards building safer workplaces.
