About Us
Since its inception, the Mediation Initiative has been totally focused on providing a peaceful, amicable and mutually beneficial resolution to your disputes through mediation.

Our Story
Navigating through the diverse landscape of corporate culture, there have been several instances that posed a real learning opportunity to develop professionally and grow personally. Any company is like a family, where, varied personalities exist and we have to deal with these personalities on a daily basis.
Just like a family, there are ups and downs and there are emotions that determine our actions in our daily work life as well. It is irrelevant as to who is right and who is wrong in a dispute in the workplace or in the family. Any dispute causes the environment to become negative and causes disruption to the happiness in the workplace or family life and if it is the workplace, then it causes a negative drain on productivity and ultimately, employee morale.
Family disputes can have a tremendous detrimental effect on entire life, and not just the family relationships. Family is the basic structure of society and when that gets impacted, the consequences are seen in all spheres of our life.
Many a time, these disputes, whether at the workplace, in the family, or between two business entities, reached the stage of litigation where the two parties or more are fighting it out in the courts of law or in arbitration to resolve their disputes; while spending enormous amounts of time and money during the process.
We, at Mediation Initiative believe that Mediation can help resolve disputes amicably and in a peaceful manner, where the resolution is long-lasting and sustainable. Our understanding of this resolution of disputes comes from our experience in the corporate life and from formal dispute resolution processes. It is high time that Mediation becomes the norm for dispute resolution rather than litigation and this is the reason why Mediation Initiative has been started.
Mission
To be a force for enabling sustainable and long-lasting peaceful resolutions to disputes whether they are family disputes, commercial disputes, or workplace disputes, to ensure harmony and growth.
