The Lady Shri Ram College Alumni Association organized the ELSA Bazaar in collaboration with
Bikaner House’s Sunday Market, on November 26 and 27th, 2022, in Bikaner House.
Ms. Laila Tyabji, Chairperson Dastkar, who inaugurated the bazaar, said, “We know women are
creative, they multi-task, and are good at finding solutions – and at this time more than ever,
the world needs this power.”
Ms. Angeli Misra, co-founder of Lifeline Labs that supported
this event, said, “Gender equality in healthcare is abysmal –
the healthcare of women even within families is the last
priority – and we collectively need to focus on closing this
gender gap – or rather making sure healthcare needs of
women – which are different from that of man – are equally
designed for and provided.”
The ELSA Bazaar is a platform that provides a market for its
alumni women entrepreneurs who have overcome gender
barriers to set up successful businesses of their own. These
entrepreneurs offered products that are organic, support
traditional craft, and use sustainable production methods. The cultural performances leveraged
the platform to support young artists as well as initiatives such as a Drumjam. The Bazaar was
very well attended on both days and saw a steady stream of visitors.
Ashima Aggarwal, EC Member says “One of the prime
objects of our Association is to support and promote
the entrepreneurial endeavors of our alumni. We are
delighted to have been able to collaborate with
Bikaner House and use their very successful Bazaar
platform to support our alum for the upcoming holiday
season.”
