October 23rd – Business Networking & Diwali Celebrations with Bridge India @ Kanishka by Atul Kochhar (Mayfair)

Enjoy fine Indian dining of the highest calibre at Kanishka in London’s Mayfair helmed by renowned chef, Atul Kochhar.

We’ve got an exclusive hire of the restaurant for Bridge India’s Diwali Dinner. What you should expect:

• 5 course menu and welcome drink
• Some incredible speakers
• Connect with fellow Bridge India Members and change-makers from across London

The evening will also present a fundraising opportunity for Pardadi Pardadi, an Indian NGO that aims to socially uplift and economically empower girls and women in Uttar Pradesh (UP) through education, health and hygiene, community development and economic empowerment.

In Anupshahr near Bulandshahr in UP, over 6000 families live below poverty line, with girls disproportionately affected due to entrenched patriarchal norms. In 2000, Pardada Pardadi was founded to tackle these issues by providing free education to rural girls. Through your help, Pardada Pardadi is now creating a new generation of self-reliant, independent girls, and helping break the generational poverty cycle.
