"A certain issue with a senior management level employee pushed us to seek Yellow Spark's services. In addition, it was in the HR agenda to implement POSH trainings for this year. Both Deepam and Aparna absolutely nailed it...such a heavy subject taught with ease, backed with plenty of examples and case studies. Most importantly Yellow Spark smoothly implemented the feedback shared in one of the session in the next training. Our employees are now more enlightened and aware and with the learnings they now know how to handle cases under POSH. Do continue with the same momentum and warmth."

"When we were approached by Yellow Spark we were looking for a partner who understood our unique requirement and delivered a high quality output with speed. Yellow Spark didn't just address the symptomatic challenges, they deep dived into every aspect of our business and then recommended strategic solutions. They have a bold & unique perceptive to people related challenges; and the team works with a sense of ownership like they were part of our organisation. It has been a wonderful, co-learning experience for us."

"We decided to engage with Yellow Spark (Aparna) based on our past relationship and working experience with her. In the past year, they have created content on HR for non-profits and also conducted a session for our conference.  For both assignments, they took on the job with enthusiasm, their approach was methodical and outcome was what we expected."

"The most important part of the workshop was - it was extremely introspective. I could find meaning for myself in the context of success and failure, which was the biggest takeaway for me. I also learnt the importance of managing emotions. If you really want to achieve something, then how important it is to manage your emotions well."

"When we were launching our floral design studio - we realised that we needed to relook at our entire company in terms of strategy, operations, marketing, HR, etc. And I was pleasantly surprised to ... (find Yellow Spark), specialists in their domain and with a macro view of how businesses can be taken to the next level. There is a great comfort level with all 3 of you - which is so important, when one has to share confidential information related to the business. You are very easy to trust and this is coming from someone who doesn't trust very easily!"

"...Within 2 months, we built a great system together and set standards and processes which any company should follow (this is a huge issue in inception stages). Along our 5-months consultancy time-frame, I have learnt a lot across various avenues - yet keeping major focus on core work. I feel companies like Yellow Spark are a must for startups like ours."

“I came across a post by Deepam that re-ignited the connection with Yellow Spark. Over the next three months she helped me get better at managing my time and more importantly making me aware of how I was spending my time. The intent was genuine and she was personally involved in my success at getting better at achieving my objectives. The coaching moved from Time Management to other things I was struggling with and we kept taking on them in our subsequent sessions. The ability to open up and not feel judged was critical to me and Deepam made the sessions very comfortable and accommodating. I met Aparna on some occasions and she came across as a warm person who I could easily connect with. I would recommend them and vouch for them.”

“It’s almost been three years of partnership and association with the Yellow Spark team. They are an extremely talented group of individuals who are approachable and proactive. If you give them your problem statement, they not only provide solutions but fix the problem once and for all. Plus, the solutions are customised to the company’s needs. The yellow Spark team has been supportive and has kept a good flow of communication while training our leadership team on sensitive topics like PoSH. Their continued services are important to our success.”

"The Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT) first began working with Yellow Spark when we were looking to bring on a new external expert for our internal committee as stipulated under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment at the Workplace Act, 2013. The team at Yellow Spark helped us audit and update our POSH policy, and designed and executed training for all our employees, ensuring that the intricacies of the Act were well understood by everybody, irrespective of the language barrier and vast variations in the backgrounds of WCT staff. Throughout these interactions, the team has been thoroughly professional and accommodating of all of our needs. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the committed team to help maintain an unbiased and just working environment for both our staff and associates."

“Aparna and you (Deepam) made the session so engrossing that our attention did not waver at any time. The topic is so vast and so complex that 4 hours is not sufficient to cover all the aspects. Yet, you managed to crunch a lot in the limited time. Apart from dealing with procedural aspects and timelines that need to be adhered to, you had a lot of practical hints about dealing with various situations. Your examples made it clear that PoSH matters need sensitive handling; an IC member cannot rush to conclusions or be judgmental; a thorough investigation is required before forming an opinion/ reaching a conclusion. And that each incident/ complaint has its own uniqueness and has to be dealt with accordingly. You had the perfect answer/ solution to every query posed by the IC members and Vikram as an employer. After the training, we are quite confident of being able to properly discharge our duties as IC members”

“As we were slowly inching out of the pandemic-induced HR challenges, we were looking for an organisation-wide capacity building on the PoSH Act. Yellow Spark wrote to us and we jumped at the chance to work with them again. Aparna and Deepam brought their understanding of non-profit HR to tailor the sessions to the contexts of our team members. The module was comprehensive and accessible, and their facilitation was excellent. They encouraged participation, addressed all questions with ease and demonstrated a deep understanding of legal and sensitive aspects of the issue along with a real commitment to improving YUVA's internal capacities and response. Yellow Spark is extremely accessible and doesn't come with a cookie-cutter approach for all organisations. This makes their input both unique and relevant, which is very beneficial for NGOs.”
