Working stills from a PSA we shot a couple of weeks ago with Neerja Malik and Gracey Varghese, two lovely and inspiring ladies. This was quite easily one of our favorite shoots to date, and interacting with these women was a transformative and eye-opening experience for our entire team.

We've done our best to capture the sheer passion and energy radiated by these women, and we hope we've done a good job. This video is, needless to say, very close to our hearts, and we can't wait for you to watch it!

Watch this space!

A big thanks to Aravind Selvam for these lovely photos, and Sameer Bharat Ram for the opportunity!
