In this episode of the OTTRED Radio podcast, we dive deep into the power of allyship and its role in reshaping the streaming media landscape. Our latest RedHolt Pulse & Play newsletter featured a compelling interview with Deepali Narsiker, Head of Allyship at Women in Streaming Media (WSM), where she shared her mission to empower women in an industry still dominated by systemic barriers.

We’ll explore:
1️⃣ The critical importance of allyship—how individuals, organizations, and allies can drive diversity and inclusion.
2️⃣ The current state of women in streaming media, with only 29% of leadership roles held by women—and how that’s set to change with allyship frameworks driving 5% growth into 2025.
3️⃣ Real-world examples of companies like Netflix and Disney+, which are embedding inclusion into their culture through riders and diversity initiatives.
4️⃣ Challenges women face in leadership and creative roles, including the lack of mentorship and pay equity, and Deepali’s strategies for addressing them through structured programs, pay audits, and active male advocacy.

Our conversation will cover how WSM’s initiatives launched in early 2024 are laying the foundation for meaningful change in streaming, fostering inclusive environments where women can thrive, innovate, and lead.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Allyship is essential for lasting change—it starts at the personal level and extends to structural transformation within companies.
• Mentorship, pay equity, and advocacy are critical levers for unlocking the potential of underrepresented talent.
• Companies that embrace diversity will not only build inclusive workplaces but also gain a competitive edge through innovation and creativity.

📢 Listen Now and learn how allyship in streaming is becoming the cornerstone for a more inclusive and equitable future.
