The December Mahotsav:  Crafting Inclusion, one Mosaic at a time

A Virtual Festival Celebrating the Power of Inclusion at Work, because Inclusion begins with listening.

Date: December 12, 2025

Timing: 11 am – 3 pm

Venue: Zoom

 

For the last four years, Avtar Group’s Diversity Mahotsav that was delivered every day for one hour brought in a vibrant tapestry of conversations, celebrations, and collaborations around inclusion. The 15-day event brought together voices from across industries, showcased best practices, and highlighted the power of Inclusion to strengthen the world of work.

As we evolve, so must the way we convene. This year we shift from a multi-day format to a one-day, high-intensity festival. This move to have one day full of celebrations is a refinement, a re-focused, and a strategic elevation of the Mahotsav’s purpose.

The transformation of the Diversity Mahotsav into a one-day festival as December Mahotsav - is a future-aligned move. Through this move, we are honouring the legacy of what the Mahotsav has been, while boldly embracing what it must become.

This December we bring to you Diversity Mahotsav transformed as December Mahotsav as a one-day virtual festival designed to spotlight stories, skills, and strategies that foster true inclusion. Held over Zoom, the day will unfold stories from thought leaders, Inclusion champions, and changemakers to inspire, inform, and ignite a sense of belonging across workplaces and communities.

From career return journeys and neuro-inclusion, to allyship, inclusive leadership, and more — the day promises with real conversations, practical insights, and heart-stirring stories.

The day will be packed with shared experiences that leave a lasting emotional memory

Get ready for a powerful, immersive, high-impact celebration for a full day that will bring in people, organizations, and ideas together in one unforgettable day.
