People Advisory - DEI Consulting
DEI Consulting That You Can Measure and Prove
We are independent diversity, equity and inclusion consultants. We assess your workplace against ISO 30415, build the strategy, report your pay gaps and train your people - with evidence you can disclose.
Representation, Measured
Every Background. Every Ability. One Inclusive Workplace.
Real inclusion looks like people of every gender, ethnicity, age, ability and background genuinely belonging - not just appearing in a photo. Our DEI audits turn that picture into a measurable score against ISO 30415, so representation becomes something you can track, prove and improve.
What We Offer
DEI Consulting Services - From First Look to Lasting Change
Wherever you are - a first honest assessment, a board-ready strategy, or a disclosure deadline - we meet you there. Five services, one measurable DEI journey.

Four Reasons Clients Choose Us for DEI
Most DEI firms help you feel more inclusive. We help you prove it - with independent, audit-grade evidence.
ISO 30415-Aligned and PRISM-Powered
A recognised international standard and our own audit protocol - so your DEI has a score, not just a sentiment.
Independent and IFC-Approved
An IFC (World Bank Group) approved independent consultant. The credibility a training vendor cannot offer.
Disclosure-Ready by Design
Every output maps to BRSR, GRI 405 and ESRS S1. Your DEI work feeds your ESG reporting, not a shelf.
Corporate and Community Reach
From boardroom to supply chain to community - a breadth of DEI experience few firms in India can match.
Why Now
DEI Is No Longer a Nice-to-Have. It Is Measured.
Inclusion now shows up in your profitability, your brand and your ability to hire - and, increasingly, in your mandatory disclosures.
Higher Profitability
Companies in the top quartile for executive-team diversity are more likely to outperform on profitability.

Consumer Support
Most consumers say they are more likely to back brands with a clear, credible DEI commitment.

Talent Expectation
Most job seekers weigh a diverse and inclusive workforce when they evaluate an offer.

And now it is a compliance question. SEBI's BRSR asks the top listed companies for gender-disaggregated data on employment, pay and leadership. A DEI assessment is the evidence base that makes those disclosures defensible - not guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does a DEI Consulting Firm Do?
A DEI consulting firm helps you build a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. Consultivo assesses your current state against ISO 30415, builds a strategy and governance model, reports your gender pay gap, and trains your people - with independent, audit-grade evidence you can disclose.
What Is a DEI Audit or DEI As-Is Assessment?
A DEI audit (also called a DEI as-is or gap assessment) is a structured review of your current diversity, equity and inclusion maturity against ISO 30415:2021. It gives you a maturity score, a gap analysis and a prioritised, board-ready roadmap. To a customer, "DEI audit" and "DEI as-is assessment" mean the same thing.
What Is ISO 30415:2021?
ISO 30415:2021 is the international standard for Human Resource Management - Diversity and Inclusion. It sets out seven areas to assess: leadership commitment, strategy and planning, workplace culture, recruitment and advancement, pay equity, stakeholder engagement, and measurement and accountability.
How Is a DEI Assessment Different From a Gender Audit?
A DEI assessment looks at the whole picture of inclusion across every dimension. A gender audit is a deep-dive on one dimension - gender equity. They share the same PRISM engine and can be combined in a single engagement.
Does DEI Connect to BRSR and ESG Reporting?
Yes. Diversity and pay data sit at the heart of the social pillar. Our DEI assessments and gender pay gap analysis produce structured data for BRSR, GRI 405 and ESRS S1 disclosures.
Do You Work With Companies Across India and Abroad?
Yes. Consultivo is an IFC (World Bank Group) approved independent consultant working across four continents and 19 countries, delivering DEI consulting wherever you operate.

How We Help Keep Your People in Focus
Lasting inclusion rests on an honest picture of where you are today.

When the board needs credible workforce metrics, our human capital reporting aligned to ISO 30414 turns people data into decision-ready insight.
Keeping people in focus means investing in how they grow, feel and belong. Our DEI consulting and DEI training help translate inclusion commitments into everyday behaviour, while a gender audit and gender pay gap reporting give you an evidence base for fair, transparent progress. Understand what your people truly think through our employee engagement surveys, strengthen role clarity and talent decisions with competency mapping and assessment centres, and upskill your teams through our HR training courses.
