Last month, as a Pride event, our transgender catering team was invited by Zomato to cook delicious meals and share our stories from struggles to success at Zomato Corporate office at Gurgaon, Haryana. Our founder Kalki Subramaniam gave an amazing talk on the power of inclusion and looking beyond binary. Our team of transgender entrepreneurs inspired hundreds of people with our food, our anecdotes and monologues. Inclusion should be the Mantra of all corporations in India and Abroad. Zomato honoured our team with gifts, certificates and honorarium. Truly a proud moment for all of us Sahodari Foundation indeed 😊🔥❤️🩹🙏. #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Transgender #DEIB #DEI #TransgenderEntrepreneur
Sharing one of the highlights of our Pride Month celebrations - a session with Kalki Subramaniam from Sahodari Foundation. We truly believe in the power of food as a medium to unite diverse cultures, genders, etc. And we'll keep striving towards making our organisation a safe and inclusive space for everyone.

The Red Wall Project is an initiative by the Sahodari Foundation, which is dedicated to the welfare of the LGBTQI community. Spearheaded by Kalki Subramaniam, the project aims to spotlight the abuse, hardship, and discrimination faced by members of the community across India. It serves as a platform for individuals to express their experiences, particularly regarding sexual and physical abuse, through art and testimonials. The project involves an art exhibition that curates these testimonials and paintings, providing a collective voice and raising awareness about the challenges faced by transgender persons. The testimonials often include the individuals' palm impressions in red, symbolizing their personal stories and struggles. Kalki activist and founder of the Sahodari Foundation, describes the Red Wall Project as a community art project that uses art to express the needs and experiences of transpersons. The project has grown significantly, starting with about 100 testimonials and now featuring around 500 in different languages as part of the collective oeuvre¹. The Red Wall Project is not just an exhibition but a growing movement to bring the realities of the transgender community to the forefront and to initiate dialogue and change. #Theredwallproject #Redwallproject #resistsexualabuse #translivesmatter

At Sahodari Foundation, we celebrated the Transgender Day with games, gifts and lots of laughter. It was an evening of together celebrating our identities and achievements. From Dhana (name changed) who lives with HIV to Nilamma who is nearing 70 yet defies age and continues to successfully practice her catering business, everyone enjoyed the evening. The love we have for each other is more than friendship. It encompasses understanding, empathy and compassion. Sahodari Foundation continues to touch underprivileged transgender persons lives through continuous support for their education and entrepreneurial initiative. We strive to empower them a life away from begging and sexwork. Everyone deserves respect and transgender people certianly do. Happy transgender day today and forever. 🌞❤️🏳️⚧️.
