Dr. Leo Gertrude David

Media Academician · AI Trainer · Certified POSH & POCSO Trainer · Director, RIACME

Dr. Leo Gertrude David has built his career at the intersection of media, communication, and technology education — teaching, researching, and leading academic programmes across NAAC-accredited institutions in India, with international academic exposure abroad.

That background is what makes his POSH & POCSO practice different. Workplace harassment today isn't just a corridor conversation — it's a screenshot, a group chat, a deepfake, a morphed image on Instagram. Most compliance trainers were never trained to see that. He was.

As founder and Director of RIACME Research and Development (OPC) Private Limited — an ISO 9001:2015 certified company based in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu — he delivers training, consultancy, research, publication, and capacity-building services to corporate and social-development sectors.

I don't train people to survive an audit. I train them to build a workplace they'd want their daughter, sister, or friend to walk into on Monday morning.
