OOC Founder Meena Waghray

Three words to describe Meena would be Mediation, Mentoring, and Meditation! 

As a lawyer I watched how relationships ended up in court, but as a mediator, I saw how they were stayed together. Stories heal when people express them out loud. As a practicing advocate I have been constantly interested in seeking alternatives to the courtroom and I believe that using mediation to resolve disputes is the most sensible and kind course of action and focussed on this aspect by gettting trained in all related skills.
Basically I have found my calling.

My cornerstone research on the Bangalore Mediation Centre for my PGDCL Program at NLSIU, I had the opportunity and great privilege to shadow multiple mediations which only made it easier to take the difficult decision to shift my career trajectory towards mediation.

I completed the mandatory 40 hour Mediation Training with the ADR Group London, Thomas Valenti of Valenti Law USA.

I recently completed an Advanced Arbitration Program from NALSAR, Hyderabad to add to my skills in the area of ADR.

People of all ages, including teenagers, non-attorneys, and lawyers, have given my training programmes five-star reviews. I also conduct Private Mediations that are the core of OOC. The nomination to the Prestigious Shaamnaad Basheer Prize for working with grassroots in 2019 was an honour in itself.

I strongly believe that teenagers must understand these mediation techniques and grow up learning the resolving skills, and to enable that, I instructed students in 9 through 11 grades in India’s first-ever “Young Mediators Training Program.” This continues with the High Schools and Colleges across India. The Law students across India benefit the most with the Online Mediation Training Programs that is a part of their curriculum.

I describe myself in these 3 words Meditation,Mediation, Mentoring.
