Quotes Anand Munshi:“Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) have moved beyond buzzwords to become critical components of organizational success. According to McKinsey & Company’s 2023 report, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams were 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability. Bain & Company also highlights that ethnically diverse companies are 36% more likely to outperform their peers financially. However, challenges persist: gender pay gaps, underrepresentation in leadership, and unconscious biases continue to hinder progress.” Arnab Bishnu Chowdhury: “Know Your Rhythm (KYR) has engaged over 20,000 ‘care givers’ of the global society including medical practitioners with their patients, therapists, teachers & students, special educators, youth, managers, professors, administrators at conferences and workshops in India, Austria, France, Belgium, Russia, Thailand, USA.” Leigh Riby:“There is a renewed fascination with the healing powers of music. This resurgence can primarily be attributed to recent breakthroughs in neuroscientific research, which have substantiated music’s therapeutic properties such as emotional regulation and brain re-engagement. This has led to a growing integration of music therapy with conventional mental health treatments.” ChatGPT=
