GIVING BACK & COMMUNITY

We make time to support some amazing causes. From stray cats in Mumbai to social entrepreneurs across India - here’s how we give back and support the world we are grateful for.

Feeding the Stray Cats of Mumbai

For the past couple of years, we have had the opportunity to support the feeding of stray cats in Mumbai via our colleague and friend, Debarti Banerjee (in). Debarti is our Head of Production and Recruitment, and for the last 20 years has been feeding hundreds of street cats and dogs in Mumbai every single day. Our little contribution to Debarti’s work has sponsored 18,000 cat meals over the past 2 years. In other words, we have been helping feed 25 stray cats every day for the last 24 months.

A Note from Debarti

My journey with animal rescue and feeding began when I was 21, when I watched a group of stray dogs rummaging through garbage in search of food. I started feeding a mother dog and her pups - eight in total. Soon after, I attended a first aid training program by Welfare for Stray Dogs (WSD). What started with rescuing a handful of animals quickly became something much bigger. Today, I feed over 700 animals every day: ~450 dogs and ~250 cats. I coordinate rescues, arrange medical treatments, and work to rehabilitate and rehome those that can’t return to the streets of Mumbai. My vision is to establish a 24/7 animal hospital and ambulance service, accessible and affordable to rescuers. Because compassion shouldn’t come with a fat price tag.

Storytelling for Change

YouTube Series on Social Entrepreneurs

Positive social change is a shared goal at Red Bangle. We believe that an inspiring true story can inspire a hundred more. That’s why we created The Lakshmi Rebecca Show, a YouTube series on social entrepreneurs in India. Hosted by Lakshmi Rebecca (Founder & CEO, Red Bangle, in), the series features handpicked stories of sustainable, scalable and proven social enterprises. We invested up to a month in crafting each episode to bring you an engaging, information-filled and moving story of each hand-picked social enterprise. Today, The Lakshmi Rebecca Show has over 11Mn views.

Here are a few Episodes

What can I say about Chai with Lakshmi? Firstly it was a pleasure talking to Lakshmi. She created space for a genuine conversation in a high quality production setting that made people sit up and notice! The subsequent viewership helped many people to truly know the substance that Enable India stands for! This was in our early days and was pivotal in our journey to where we have reached today! For me what stands out is that she is ahead of her times to give social innovators such spaces to communicate..

Afforestt

My interview with you helped me to articulate my scattered thoughts and make a roadmap for the future. Though we were in a super early stage, you gave us a chance and treated me as if I had already made it big. We spoke about the larger mission, going global, institutionalizing our work, none of it was done, but it was up there in our thoughts. Now I watch our interaction and realize that you helped me articulate and later manifest things that are happening right now. Thanks a lot again for giving me that opportunity in the early days of Afforestt.

Frontier Markets

I am deeply thankful for the opportunity to have been featured on The Lakshmi Rebecca Show. The interview was not just a chance to talk about Frontier Markets; it was an authentic reflection of my journey and the passion driving our mission. Lakshmi's storytelling captured the heart of our work, resonating with viewers in a profound way. The episode has been invaluable in raising awareness about Frontier Markets and fostering connections with a much wider audience. I am truly grateful for the platform and highly recommend The Lakshmi Rebecca Show to fellow changemakers seeking to share their story.
