Kolkata's corporate landscape leans older than most other metros — regional headquarters of public-sector banks and insurers, long-established trading and manufacturing houses, and a significant number of family-run businesses that have operated for decades on informal HR practices. That history means POSH compliance here often starts from a different baseline than in a newer tech hub: not "how do we scale a committee," but "we've never had one, or the one we had lapsed years ago." Kanika Rao works from wherever an organisation actually stands.
POSH compliance services available in Kolkata
- POSH Legal Advisory — compliance gap analysis for organisations with no committee, or one that was constituted once and never reconstituted since.
- External ICC Member — independent external member appointments, including first-time appointments for family-run businesses formalising HR practices for the first time.
- POSH Policy Drafting & Documentation — policy drafting and annual report preparation, often the first properly documented POSH framework an organisation has had.
- POSH Training — foundational employee sensitisation and manager training, frequently a genuine first introduction to the Act's requirements for long-serving staff.
- Corporate Workshops — leadership workshops addressing personal exposure under the Act, a particularly relevant conversation for owner-managed businesses.
Why this matters for Kolkata specifically
An Internal Committee that was set up once, years ago, and never reconstituted is not validly constituted — which means any inquiry it conducts today is vulnerable to challenge regardless of how fair the outcome felt. This is a more common gap in Kolkata's older corporate base than in newer companies elsewhere, and it's usually only discovered when a complaint actually arrives, which is the worst possible time to find out.
