Every workplace with 10 or more employees must constitute an Internal Committee.
Talent Crafters constitutes compliant ICs, seats empanelled advocates as the external member required by s.4(2)(c), registers workplaces on SHe-Box, runs employee awareness and IC-capacity training, and prepares the annual report for your District Officer. The firm was founded in 2026; the advocates on its register were enrolled between 2005 and 2018 — close to a decade at the bar apiece, and more than two decades for the longest-serving. We publish each advocate's State Bar Council and year of enrolment rather than claiming a history we don't have; the full name and enrolment number of the advocate proposed for your committee reach you before you appoint anyone.

Plan to file with your District Officer by 31 January 2027 — 108 days remaining.
NOTE — THIS IS A PLANNING TARGET, NOT A STATUTORY DEADLINE. THE POSH ACT AND RULES PRESCRIBE NO DUE DATE, AND DISTRICTS SET THEIR OWN (GURUGRAM, FOR EXAMPLE, SET 28 FEBRUARY). CONFIRM YOUR DISTRICT OFFICER'S INSTRUCTION.

There is no government POSH trainer certification in India.
The POSH Act obliges the employer to conduct awareness programmes under s.19. It says nothing about trainer credentials, and no statutory or government body certifies POSH trainers. Every "certified POSH trainer" in this market holds a private certificate — ours included. Ours is the NIST certification (National Institute of Skills Training) — a private mark, not a government or statutory credential — independently verifiable by enrolment roll number on request.
What actually distinguishes a trainer is legal depth, experience facilitating an IC, the languages they can teach in, and whether they will let you verify any of it.
- That a government body certifies our trainers — none does.
- That the certificate is nationally recognised — it is a private mark.
- That it carries any statutory or official stamp — it does not.
- That "NIST" is a public institute — it is a private mark (National Institute of Skills Training), and we say so every time it's named.
Six engagements, in the order a workplace needs them.
Most of the market sells training alone. Compliance is a cycle that starts before the first session and continues after the last one.

Based in Noida. Delivered across India, in your language.
We work onsite across Delhi NCR and cities within about 300 km of Noida, onsite elsewhere in India as required, and online for employers anywhere in India — a single office or branches in several states. POSH awareness training is delivered in English, Hindi, and, through our external trainer network, major regional languages, so a session lands with the workforce actually in the room.

Continuity commitment
What happens if your external member disappears mid-inquiry.
If an empanelled external member becomes unavailable, Talent Crafters substitutes another empanelled advocate within 15 working days at no additional cost, and prepares the revised IC constitution order and the SHe-Box update.
An inquiry runs to a 90-day statutory clock regardless of who's seated on it. Our continuity commitment exists because that clock doesn't wait.

Two rosters, by design.
The Internal Committee is a quasi-judicial body with the powers of a civil court, and your organisation is a party before it. The external member exists to inject independence — we keep that independence structural rather than promising it case by case.
-
A
Roster A
External member panel
Advocates empanelled to sit as the s.4(2)(c) external member on client Internal Committees. Named in your written constitution order and in your SHe-Box record.
-
B
Roster B
Case counsel
Advocates arranged for employers on live complaints. Never empanelled as an external member on any Internal Committee, for any client.
Many firms handle this with case-by-case recusal, which is hard to verify from outside. We keep the two rosters strictly separate as a firm policy — the full panel is published, and no name on it appears in a case-support engagement.
Panel & credentialsTrust carried by checkable credentials, not a photograph.
We publish no photographs of personnel. In their place: a register of each advocate's Bar Council and year of enrolment — and, before you appoint anyone, the full name and enrolment number of the advocate proposed for your committee, verifiable against a public roll.
The full register of empanelment lists the external-member panel, the case-counsel roster and our certified trainers — with the verification path for any credential.
The judgments that shaped the Act — and what they ask of employers.
From Vishaka to Aureliano Fernandes, the Supreme Court has set out what a compliant, defensible process actually looks like. We keep a plain-English guide, plus answers to the questions employers search for most.
What we do not do.
Stated plainly so no one buys the wrong thing.
- We do not provide case counsel and an external member to the same client. No advocate appears on both rosters.
- We do not claim any official, statutory or national recognition for our trainers, because none exists in India.
- We do not claim operating history prior to 2026.
