Bridging generations, inspiring change
– Princess Padmajaraje Gaekwad
Hey, I’m Princess Padmajaraje Gaekwad! I’m passionate about empowering young people and making sure our culture stays alive and meaningful in today’s world. For me, it’s all about finding that balance between our rich heritage and the changes we need to make for a better future.
Whether it’s through cervical cancer workshops for students and underprivileged women or supporting LGBTQIA+ and minority communities through the Gajra project, I’m focused on creating spaces where tradition meets modern life.
I’m always eager to support initiatives like the URJA exhibition, which brings back forgotten Indian crafts and helps women-led start-ups. And the inclusive café from the Gajra project? Gazra is a warm and comforting spot in the city where a diverse team serves traditional Maharashtrian and Gujarati food, showing how culture can be a way to create positive change.
My goal is to help build a future that’s inclusive and fair, where traditions evolve to support young people and the whole community in a way that matters today.
Empowering Smiles
Change begins with us, within our communities. By uplifting the marginalised and embracing diversity, you have the power to create a world where tradition and modernity walk hand in hand.
