Speaking on the win Joydeep Chatterjee, Chief of Projects, CSR & Corporate Affairs, Nuvoco, said, "Aakriti has been one of our most challenging projects as it required changing highly conservative mindsets while also identifying a sustainable source of livelihood that was also considered acceptable for women in that milieu. It is also one of our significant initiatives in enterprise development, which is thriving and self-sustaining. Viewed against this backdrop; the FICCI Award is an important validation of our efforts."
