On this episode, I am so delighted to be speaking to Neelam Jain about how we can improve the livelihoods of the one crore trans-persons living in India today. Post a two-year stint in Goldman Sachs as a financial analyst, Neelam founded PeriFerry in 2017 with a mission to build a self-sustainable model that creates meaningful & inclusiveemployment opportunities for trans persons. PeriFerry is a purpose driven organisation that is deeply connected with the trans community.They not only help companies recruit trans persons but also helps them create a culture of inclusion, acceptance and empathy for the LGBTQI+ community. A Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, Neelam is also a LinkedIn Top Voice on inclusion.
