Pure Love Campaign
Having worked with several marginalised communities, Mr. Keshav Suri launched #PureLove campaign. The campaign provides platform to people from all walks of life, in particular, women, acid attack survivors, people with disabilities and the LGBTQIA+ community, to come forth, share their experiences, seek emotional support and find economic opportunities for themselves. The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group is committed towards empowerment of women. The group has 40 percent of women representation at board level while 50 percent at the senior management level.
The group has also signed The Valuable 500, putting disability inclusion on our business leadership agenda. Through #PureLove campaign, we are able to create a safe space where everyone can bring their authentic self to work. The campaign not only created awareness but also is continuously helping people get employable skills, job opportunities and enabling people to live their lives with dignity.
