POSHCA

What POSHCA does

POSHCA (Society for Prevention of Sexual Harassment and Child Abuse) is an Indian non-profit society headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana, established around 2014-2015. The organization provides end-to-end compliance services under India's Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 (POSH Act), which mandates that any employer with 10 or more employees—regardless of whether women are employed—form an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), conduct employee awareness training, and file annual reports. POSHCA's client base spans large enterprises and government bodies across pharmaceuticals (GlaxoSmithKline Healthcare), IT and technology (HCL Infosystems, Synaptics, OLX India), manufacturing (Minda Corporation, Jaquar Group, Benetton India), hospitality (InterContinental Hotel Group), healthcare (Medanta Hospital), finance (American Express Business Travel), education (Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi Public School Sector 45), and government entities including District Courts Gurgaon and Gurugram Administration.

The core product is a web-based e-learning platform with separate login portals for Admin, HR, and Employees, a question bank, quizzes requiring a minimum score of 8/10, automated training certificates, and an HR dashboard tracking employee progress and completion rates. Complementary service lines include provision of trained external members for organizations' ICCs, advisory on corporate policy and service-rule amendments to incorporate POSH provisions, employee awareness/orientation sessions using real-life case studies, specialized legal training for ICC members, "Train the Trainer" programs for in-house facilitators, and assistance with annual report filing. The technical platform is built on a PHP Application Builder, with infrastructure support from a third-party technical partner, INFOCRAFT SOLUTIONS.

POSHCA's business model combines professional services revenue (training workshops, legal advisory, ICC external membership) with subscription-style revenue from the e-learning module; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales targeting HR departments, compliance heads, and government administrators, supplemented by engagement through industry bodies such as CII, NASSCOM, and AEPC, plus state-level mandates (notably Haryana, where the Ministry of Women and Child Development has directed all Deputy Commissioners to involve POSHCA). With approximately 6 team members and 400+ training sessions reportedly delivered, the organization operates at a small but specialized scale, with regulatory empanelment by the Ministry of Women & Child Development providing a structural demand moat.
