Bangalore: DEI firm, Interweave Consulting focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), has announced Anima Nair as Head of its newly launched Neurodiversity Vertical. A CPD-Certified Neurodiversity Practitioner, TEDx speaker, and advocate, Anima brings over a decade of expertise in fostering inclusion for neurodivergent individuals, informed by her lived experience as a parent to an autistic son.
Anima’s career blends empathy and strategy. As former Director of NeuroGifted, she designed frameworks for neuroinclusive workplaces, while her role as co-founder of NGO Sense Kaleidoscopes empowers autistic youth through art-based vocational training. An alumna of NIT Calicut and Independent Director for multiple boards, she champions systemic change across sectors. Her TEDx talk, “The Invisible Brilliance of Neurodiversity,” challenges stereotypes and highlights the untapped potential of cognitive diversity.
“Neurodiversity is about recognizing the infinite variation of human brains. When we design workplaces that celebrate cognitive differences, we unlock untapped potential that benefits everyone. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Interweave to redefine inclusion, not as a checkbox, but as a catalyst for growth.” says Anima Nair, Lead Neurodiversity, Interweave Consulting.
“Given the deep passion and experience that Anima brings, we look forward to her spearheading initiatives aimed at fostering workplaces that embrace neurodivergent talent, drive innovation, and create meaningful change. With her leading these initiatives, Interweave will be better equipped to help organizations create environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive and contribute meaningfully.” states Nirmala Menon, CEO, Interweave Consulting.
