FAQ background

Frequently Asked Questions

SpaceUpp is a gender equity and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) advisory collective. We support both individuals and organizations in creating safer, fairer, and more inclusive spaces—through legal compliance (like PoSH), personal leadership programs, inclusive policies, and system-shifting culture work.

If you're an individual navigating power dynamics, burnout, or identity-based exclusion—or an organization seeking to build inclusive, compliant, and trust-based cultures—SpaceUpp is for you. We work with women, queer professionals, HR leaders, IC members, Corporates, and small to mid sized Business Owners with 10+ employees.

PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) is a legal requirement for workplaces in India with 10+ employees. It ensures that employees—especially women—have a safe, respectful environment to work in. At SpaceUpp, we go beyond compliance to build prevention-first, people-conscious cultures.

No. It applies to all workplaces with 10+ employees—including startups, NGOs, educational institutions, and consultancies. We work with teams across sectors and sizes.

We offer end-to-end support: policy creation, IC constitution, employee training, simulated inquiries, and annual report filing. We ensure you're not only compliant—but confident.

Most PoSH training focuses on checklists. Ours focus on culture. We go deeper—by helping teams understand power dynamics, trauma, gender bias, and the emotional realities behind the law. Prevention is ongoing, not one-time. That's where real change begins.

We help you move from token gestures to meaningful, measurable culture change. Our DEI strategy work includes assessments, inclusive policy design, leadership alignment, and team sensitization—especially through the lens of gender, caste, class, and sexuality. We don't offer checklists; we build systems of fairness.

We go beyond rainbow flags. We work with organizations to build gender-affirming systems—this includes pronoun policies, awareness training, transition support, and safe grievance redressal. Our approach is queer-led, not just queer-friendly.

Our work is trauma-informed, justice-rooted, prevention-centered, and people-first. We're not checklist consultants—we're cultural architects with lived experience in gender equity and workplace inclusion.

It means we don't wait for harm to happen before we act. It means we lead with care, consent, and emotional safety—especially for those who've experienced marginalization or harm. Prevention-first is about shifting culture before complaints arise. And trauma-informed means we respect people's lived experiences, not just legal procedures.

Yes. Every session we design is context-specific and tailored to your industry, culture, and readiness. No recycled content, ever.

Absolutely. We offer retainer-based support, on-call guidance for ICs, refresher programs, and continued mentoring for individuals and organizations who want to embed long-term culture change—not just complete a training tick-box.

Yes. We work pan-India and internationally through on-site and virtual delivery formats. Wherever you are, we're within reach.

That's okay. Resistance is part of the process. Our training is designed to meet teams where they are—with empathy, clarity, and non-shaming language—so even the uncomfortable conversations become possible and productive.

Yes. We help constitute ICs legally, train them thoroughly, and provide vetted external members who are trauma-informed and legally equipped.

We've worked with corporates, NGOs, manufacturing units, industries, educational institutions, tech companies, and creative agencies. Culture change is our expertise—industry is just the setting.

Yes. We provide downloadable toolkits, guides, and reflection worksheets via our website. We also share knowledge through webinars, social media content, and community conversations to help individuals and teams learn and unlearn.

Just reach out through our contact form. We'll listen first, understand your journey, and suggest programs or coaching that meet you where you are—without pressure or pretence.

Absolutely. Many women and queer professionals carry invisible burdens—silencing, overperforming, self-doubt. Our coaching and programs help you name what's been holding you back and create space to lead on your terms.

Yes. Through boundary-setting, assertive communication, and power awareness modules, we help you build the clarity and courage to speak up—without guilt, apology, or burnout.
