The pride walk held on June 9 in Powai saw over 200 participants
Earlier in June, a WhatsApp invitation to a pride walk at Powai, organised by the North American real estate company Brookfield Properties, piqued this writer’s interest. “We are fostering an inclusive community where tenants and employees can come together to celebrate diversity and promote equality,” the invite read.
Having covered the real estate for over half a decade, such an initiative to woo the LGBTQiA+ has previously been unheard of, at least in the city.
Reema Kundnani, region head West India and head of marketing, branding and communication at Brookfield Properties, says the pride walk was well thought out. “Our tenants are big corporates, which are open to inclusiveness; each company already has a diversity in-charge, whose job is to make sure that everyone working in the company is sensitised to the LGBTQiA+.”
