Meet Prashant Khanna, who works in sports production at Disney Star. His role blends field operations, sports production, design, studio management, and R&D through STAR Labs. Prashant's career at Disney Star spans two significant periods. He first joined from 2002 to 2007, starting as a contractual employee fetching and delivering fan mail for shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. It might sound surprising, but Prashant eagerly awaited each new episode, as it made crafting the perfect fan responses easier. Upon his return in 2017, Prashant found himself in a larger organization. Despite the changes, the core values of innovation and pushing boundaries remained. In 2020, Prashant and his team tackled the monumental task of bringing IPL back on air amid COVID-19. With global sports halted, they committed fully and passionately. Prashant was instrumental in creating COVID guidelines and biosecure bubbles, ensuring safety in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Mumbai. Seeing the first ball go on-air and hearing the fans' messages about IPL lifting their spirits was hugely gratifying. For Prashant, balancing life and work is crucial. His team produces everything in-house, which means long hours and sometimes weekends at the office. But his family understands his passion. Evening games allow Prashant to spend mornings with his son, and no games mean a possible day off... Read more here - https://www.instagram.com/p/C9CZ4QBxy0v/

This #PrideMonth, we explore identity and #allyship through #WordsOfPride, highlighting real-world change. Meet Karthik, who shares their experience of navigating gender and sexuality across multiple languages. Learn more about #inclusivity at www.wordsofpride.com. #HappyPrideMonth #LGBTQIA #LoveIsLove Karthik Damarsetti (they/them) Senior Consultant at a software company. “When I told my mom I’m gay, she understood. But explaining my non-binary identity in my native language was impossible,” Karthik shares. Raised in a multilingual household speaking Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu, Karthik found traditional gender language limiting. The struggle intensified after the 2018 judgement decriminalising Section 377. “Watching the news, I realised there wasn’t language to explain the LGBTQIA+ identities to my family.” Tamil has terms like Thirunar for transgender individuals, but it’s harder with other languages like Telugu. The lack of words for queer identities makes it difficult to communicate their identity. Even after studying in the US, Karthik still faced language challenges back home, with regional media reinforcing stereotypes. Now working in Hyderabad, Karthik advocates for gender-neutral words in Indian languages. “We need words that let us express our identity without fear. It’s about reclaiming who we are.” Words of Pride helps communities develop this inclusive language. Written by: @picturedekhe Photographer: @rish.rgb

This #PrideMonth, we will delve into the stories of identity and allyship, highlighting the real-world changes ignited by the language with #WordsOfPride. Here’s one such heartwarming story of Disha Devdas from Mumbai, who found comfort in the words that best express her true self. Disha Devdas (she/her) Diversity and Inclusion Professional, Mumbai Recently in Kochi, Disha had an experience with a young driver who became more than just someone taking her from place to place. “We talked a lot, and he was genuinely interested in understanding my life. I told him I’m bisexual but explaining it in Malayalam was nearly impossible.” She ended up saying something like, “I am attracted to both boys and girls,” which made it sound purely sexual. This frustration of not being able to express her identity without oversimplifying it has been a recurring theme in her life. Working as an Inclusion and Diversity professional at a multinational company, Disha Devdas (she/her) understands how varied and delicate the spectrum of queerness is. “When I first came out as bisexual, it was in New York, and my perspective was shaped by the English language.” Relocating back to India, Disha realized that she didn’t have the emotional bandwidth or the appropriate words in Malayalam when speaking to older relatives. “While I was dating women, I still went to my mom for advice and she treated those relationships just like any other,” Disha recalls. “My sister too, though much younger, has always be
