Man + donna (woman) goes beyond a simple wordplay, as it references the concept of the Madonna-Whore Complex , as conceived by Sigmund Freud. According to this theory, some men can only view women in one of two ways: either pure and chaste, like a saintly Madonna (the Virgin Mary), OR promiscuous and immoral, like a debased whore.

Our mission is to create inclusive spaces that promote understanding of gender because gender inclusivity is a pressing need in India. The lack of these spaces presents a significant barrier to growth and development.

We assist socially-focused organisations, including academic institutions, corporations, NGOs, and government bodies, in expanding their impact by offering affordable consulting services.
In doing so, we also support the next generation of leaders eager to make a positive change.
