Across India, women-focused initiatives often work in isolation, challenged by limited visibility, restricted access to funding, support, and networks. At the same time, potential collaborators like female designers, women entrepreneurs, and institutions remain disconnected, revealing a gap of access rather than intent.

Naari is a platform that increases the visibility and accessibility of women-focused initiatives. It maps the relationships among these initiatives, helps access tools and funding, and shares feminist voices, stories, and context through curated content.

Naari is fundamentally about building connections.

Naari operates through three touchpoints: a website for discovery and information, networking events for in-person exchange, and a social media space for knowledge sharing and feminist discourse.

It is for women-focused initiatives such as NGOs, grassroots collectives, and startups seeking communicative support. It also links designers, organisations, and institutions aiming to contribute funding, skills, networks, or infrastructure to feminist social change.

By transforming fragmentation into connection, it helps initiatives gain visibility, access to resources, and form collaborations. By fostering these connections, Naari strengthens the broader ecosystem of support, care, and collective feminist action.
