KOLKATA: A handful of talented but marginalised women - underprivileged, sex workers, trafficking victims and transgenders - have been receiving support from an unusual quarter to rebuild their lives. Businessman Namit Bajoria has been the pillar of hope for these women, and some young children, for whom 'Kutchina Krritika' turned out to be a "friend in need".
Since 2014, Bajoria, the founder of Kutchina, has been helping empower talented but underprivileged women and young girls to become social entrepreneurs with the project. Kutchina Krritika is one of the first enterprises by an Indian businessman to reach out to diverse people of disadvantages background, like sex workers and transgenders, and help them become community leaders. So far, the programme has benefited more than 21 people across India and Bajoria hopes to increase the number to at least 50 by the next few years.
