Startups and MSMEs
Affordable POSH training for startups, MSMEs and growing companies
Jijiwisha Society is a not-for-profit. Our aim is to make good POSH training accessible to organisations of every size, without cutting the parts that make it work. We won’t claim to be the cheapest; we will show you what drives the price.
Why we can keep it affordable
A not-for-profit model
Fees from our workplace programmes form the Society’s working fund. After meeting the cost of the training, the surplus pays for planting and caring for native trees, schooling support and health camps. We price to cover the work and fund the mission, not to maximise margin.
Ways to lower the cost
Spend less without cutting what the law requires
- Go hybrid. A short online module for everyone, then one live session for discussion.
- Train online. Live virtual sessions cost significantly less than in-person workshops, with no travel.
- Batch sensibly. Combine small teams into one live batch, within a size that keeps it interactive.
- Assess at scale. POSH Compass assessment and certification costs ₹12 to ₹48 per employee, depending on headcount.
- Plan the year. Multi-location and multi-stakeholder packages cost less than one-off sessions.
What we won’t cut
The parts that make training count
- Sessions in the languages your people actually speak.
- Internal Committee orientation, which the law requires separately from employee awareness.
- Assessment and records you can show an auditor or a District Officer.
- A trainer who can answer real questions about your policy.

Quick answers
Affordable POSH training: questions buyers ask
Can startups get affordable POSH training with certification?
Yes. Online and hybrid formats keep training costs down, and POSH Compass certification costs ₹48 per employee for teams of up to 30.
Does a startup with fewer than 10 employees need an Internal Committee?
No. An Internal Committee is required where there are 10 or more employees. Complaints from smaller workplaces go to the Local Committee of the district. The employer’s other duties, including awareness, still apply.
Who provides affordable POSH training for companies in India?
Many providers do, at different scopes. Compare itemised quotes: format, duration, languages, assessment, records and Internal Committee training. Jijiwisha Society is a not-for-profit that publishes its assessment prices and quotes training to your brief.
Is cheaper POSH training worse?
Not necessarily. The risk is what gets left out: languages, records, a trainer who can answer questions, and Internal Committee orientation.
