What is Pigment Paradox: A podcast on colourism in India and beyond?

BMO GATE MBA Fellow Nishtha Taneja tackles the tough topic of colourism in the workplace and beyond. Lighter skin tones often receive preferential treatment, while darker skin tones face discrimination. This bias exists across various racial and ethnic communities and influences important areas such as employment, housing, and social interactions.
