Swastika is an active contributor to the fourth Pillar of Standard Chartered Bank’s new Global Functions initiative: People. The People pillar includes both Diversity and Inclusion, primarily focusing on retaining, attracting, developing and engaging female talent, and Championing Wellbeing, a workstream which concentrates on awareness, mental health and wellness sessions held by expert external agencies. Since becoming part of the Women on Work, and Wellness teams in early 2021, Swastika has been mentoring upcoming women leaders within the organization, and has also been involved in supporting and empowering Risk Functions women at all stages of their career. Outside of Standard Chartered Bank Swastika is Co-Founder of a community ‘Livia and it’s Events’ in Singapore, which organizes activities, whether a trek, a talk show or cultural events, to bring out awareness among races. Swastika strongly believes that these creative and cultural events are the best way of spreading the right message in communities.
