South Asian Heritage Month
Going Back to Our Roots with DESIblitz
Online Event | Wednesday 23 July 2025
As part of South Asian Heritage Month, Women in Rail invites colleagues across the rail industry to join us for an inspiring online conversation celebrating culture, identity, and the stories that connect us.
This year, as the UK marks 200 years of railway history, we reflect on the powerful contributions of South Asian communities—both past and present—to our sector. From building vital infrastructure to driving innovation, leadership, and representation, these communities have helped shape the future of rail across the country.
About the Event
Join us for a compelling discussion with Indi Deol from DESIblitz, the UK’s leading online magazine for British South Asian communities. DESIblitz is renowned for its award-winning storytelling spanning entertainment, culture, lifestyle, and social impact.
Expect thoughtful reflections on identity, heritage, and the importance of representation in today’s workforce, as we go “back to our roots” and explore what heritage means in the modern workplace.
