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.

This impactful partnership was aimed at breaking down societal barriers and misconceptions surrounding disability and financial hardship. And by leveraging the power of commerce, DBiz.ai sought to empower these missions by facilitating the sale of goods crafted by them, ranging from handicrafts to artwork and homemade products.

The products on display were not only unique and meticulously crafted but also carried a powerful message of hope and resilience. Each item told a story of determination and perseverance, reflecting the journey of its creator. From intricately embroidered textiles & crafts to handmade baked good, every piece was a testament to the creativity and talent present within these communities. 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.
