The SowGood Difference

A workplace session should feel less like training and more like a turning point.

SowGood sits at the meeting point of culture, compliance and emotional care. It gives organisations a credible way to discuss difficult subjects with warmth, clarity and dignity.

In the Room
Ethics without preaching
PoSH without awkwardness
DEI without tokenism
Wellbeing without stigma
Before

Policies are present, but the behaviour has not moved.

Teams know the words: ethics, respect, inclusion, wellbeing. The harder work is helping people recognise those words in everyday choices.

During

The room opens when the subject feels human.

Rakesh uses stories, dilemmas, humour and care to make sensitive subjects speakable without making people defensive.

After

People leave with language they can use.

The goal is simple: employees should know how to speak up, support a colleague, notice a boundary and make the better choice.

The Method

Designed for Attention,
Built for Action

Employees do not change because a slide told them to. SowGood sessions are crafted like live conversations: relevant, respectful, practical and easy to carry back to work.

01

Listen first

Rakesh understands your workforce, policies, risk areas and audience profile before the session is designed. Years of one-on-one conversations taught him this comes first.

02

Make it real

The session uses stories, dilemmas, examples and honest questions instead of abstract compliance language.

03

Leave tools behind

Employees walk away with simple language for speaking up, making choices, managing stress and supporting colleagues.

The Founder · Speaker Profile

Conversations That Make Workplaces Better

Rakesh Jain speaks on the things that quietly decide an organisation's future — ethics, respect, inclusion, compliance and emotional health — with stories, candour and zero preachiness.

Rakesh Jain, keynote speaker
Rakesh Jain
Founder & Speaker, SowGood
IIM Lucknow Governance & Compliance Social Entrepreneur Founder, MirrorMe Mentor & Listener

Rakesh spent his career inside boardrooms and balance sheets as an IIM Lucknow alumnus working in corporate governance. What no ledger could show him was this: an organisation's real assets walk out of the door every evening, and its real risks live in how those people treat each other.

"I don't do this for applause. I do it because one honest conversation, at the right time, can change how a person shows up — at work and at home — for years."

He also founded MirrorMe — a venture built to help students crack interviews and step into their first jobs with confidence. It worked. Young people who had the ability but not the language got both. MirrorMe has since merged into SowGood, and that work continues inside it.

But the work that shaped him most happened quietly, and off the stage. Over the years, hundreds of students and adults have sat across from him — about a career that stalled, a workplace that had become unbearable, a fear they had not said aloud to anyone. He is not a therapist and does not pretend to be one. He simply listened, and pointed people toward help when they needed more than a conversation.

He is not a speaker who learned to listen. He is a listener who learned to speak.

That is the difference you feel in the room. His sessions do not perform empathy — they practise it. It is why a PoSH session with him feels safe rather than staged, and why people ask the question they have been carrying for years.

Over eight years, 240+ institutions and more than 100,000 people, his sessions are consistently praised for their novelty and real-world relevance. He speaks in English and Hindi, on-site or virtual, tailored to the room. Connect on LinkedIn ↗
