Divya Srivastava is a Counselling Psychologist, POSH Trainer, MBA (HR & Management), and an IICA-certified Independent Director, with over 14 years of experience working at the intersection of mental health and organisational systems, including six years of focused work in POSH training and implementation. Her work is shaped by a deep understanding of workplace behaviour, leadership dynamics, and the psychological realities that influence how policies are experienced on the ground. She approaches POSH not merely as a legal requirement, but as a critical opportunity to build workplaces that are safe, accountable, and psychologically informed.
Her expertise lies in bridging law, leadership, and mental health, offering POSH training that moves beyond compliance-driven conversations. She works closely with organisations to translate legal frameworks into lived practices, helping employees and leadership teams engage meaningfully with themes of consent, power, bias, and professional boundaries. Drawing from her clinical background as a counselling psychologist, she brings depth and sensitivity to these discussions, making them both reflective and actionable. She has worked extensively across pharmaceutical companies, manufacturing organisations, and educational institutions, adapting her approach to suit the distinct cultures and challenges of each sector.
As the Founder of The Silver Lining, a mental health organisation established in 2016, Divya has partnered with corporates, academic institutions, and leadership teams across India on POSH sensitisation, Internal Committee training, policy development, and workplace wellbeing initiatives. Her additional role as an Independent Director allows her to bring a governance-oriented lens to her work, ensuring that organisations not only meet statutory requirements but also foster environments rooted in dignity, trust, and ethical responsibility.
At the heart of her work is a simple but firm belief that safer workplaces are not built through policies alone, but through everyday awareness, accountability, and the willingness to engage with discomfort in honest and humane ways.
