In March 2024, DBiz.ai marked International Women’s Day, celebrating women and girls, fostering a sense of belonging, promoting gender equality, inspiring inclusion, and encouraging women’s participation. In a heart-warming display of corporate social responsibility, DBiz.ai on the occasion of International Women’s Day recently transformed their Kochi Info Park complex into a bakery haven, all for a noble cause. The event, was held in partnership with “Melting Hearts,” a bakery associated with the vocational initiative of Adarsh Charitable Trust under the Adarsh Centre for Empowerment, working on the mission to empower children with Cerebral Palsy and Autism and “Gaya,” a brand specialising in sustainable bags, purses and home décor items produced by differently-abled women and women from economically marginalized backgrounds.

The products on display were not only unique and meticulously crafted but also carried a powerful message of hope and resilience.

This initiative not only provided a valuable platform for these individuals to interact directly with customers, sharing their stories and experiences and showcase their talents but also aimed to empower them economically, fostering a sense of pride, independence, and inclusion within the community.
