K Raheja Corp Launches 'Reverse Mentoring' Programme to Strengthen Cross-Generational Learning and Leadership Development
K Raheja Corp Introduces Reverse Mentoring for Cross-Generational Learning
K Raheja Corp, one of India's leading real estate conglomerates, has launched 'Reverse Mentoring', a people-focused learning initiative designed to encourage meaningful dialogue between senior leaders and younger employees across the organisation. The programme has been introduced across the Group's businesses, including Mindspace REIT, Chalet Hotels, Inorbit Mall, and K Raheja Corp Homes.
Structure and Mechanics
Senior leaders participate as mentees, while mid to junior level employees take on the role of mentors. Leaders identify areas where they want to gain new perspectives, and employees volunteer as mentors based on their knowledge, interests, and experience. The HR team then pairs participants by matching common themes and learning goals. Each mentor–mentee pair participates in approximately four to six one-on-one sessions over three to four months. The sessions are informal, flexible, and focused on practical as well as strategic themes that are relevant to the future of work.
Learning Objectives
Through the initiative, senior leaders gain fresh perspectives on emerging trends, evolving workplace expectations, customer behaviour, technology, digital transformation, AI, communication shifts, and future-ready skills, while younger employees get direct access to leadership conversations and a closer view of how decisions are shaped.
Urvi Aradhya, Group CHRO, K Raheja Corp, said the initiative is intended to bring new-age thinking and candid feedback into leadership conversations while giving younger employees greater access to decision-making perspectives and leadership engagement.
Long-term Development Framework
Following the successful completion of its first cohort, Reverse Mentoring will continue as a long-term learning and development initiative within the organisation. Reverse Mentoring complements K Raheja Corp's wider learning and development ecosystem, which includes initiatives such as I-GROW for individual contributors, I-LEAD for early-career managers, leadership development programmes such as Shikhar and Future-Forward, and focused initiatives such as Sheroes and PowHER, which support women's leadership and career advancement across the organisation.
