As one of India’s leading glass manufacturer in consumer, architectural and auto glass segments,Asahi India GlassLtd (AIS) recently felicitated women who have succeeded in the field of architecture.
To throw some light on how women are often kept from getting to the top in most fields, AIS decided to use the idea of ‘Breaking the Glass Ceiling’ to celebrate women who have made it, in spite of all the obstacles they may have faced.
Using an online-offline activation, AIS brought together women architects from various firms across the country to bestow upon them ‘The Keystone Award’. The award celebration involved the women architects, along with members of their firms and several AIS employees.
Renowned architects like Ar. Kavita Talib from Soyuz Talib Architects, Ar. Alpa Shikre from Sandeep Shikre and Associates, Ar. Nina Puri from Sanjay Puri Architects and many more were felicitated with ‘The Keystone Award’. You can view the pictures here.
AIS also posted videos of these architects where they shared their journey of success and encouraged people to face challenges in life, to follow dreams and achieve success in any field. Their story is truly an inspiration of every woman out there!To watch these videos, Click Here.
