Coming from the interiors of India, I can feel the pain of each and every woman as well as resonate with all the unpleasant experiences, having gone through the same.
“I am delighted to represent a very crucial cause and a game changer brand which is impacting lives. Together, we can drive positive change through strategic initiatives and awareness campaigns not only amongst women but also the entire eco-system.
