The AV Ecosystem Delivers Its Strongest Festive Season of Giving Yet

Community spirit shines as proceeds and donations reach more organisations working with women and kids.

The Sheetal L Foundation’s annual Diwali Bazaar and Joy of Giving drive returned in October 2025, and this year’s effort topped all past editions. What began as a small tradition has grown into a fixture in the AV calendar, and the latest round showed how strong that culture of giving has become.

This year’s Diwali Bazaar brought together 11 NGO partners, each led by beneficiaries who set up stalls with their handmade goods. All of you turned up in large numbers, giving the event a warm and festive mood. Their support helped the bazaar cross its best milestone yet, with a combined record yield of Rs 1,75,888.

The Joy of Giving drive ran through the same period, with employees donating clothing, toys, stationery, and a wide range of essential items. These contributions will help partner NGOs continue their work in the months ahead.

The proceeds and collected items from both initiatives will go to organisations that support and uplift women and children.

Together, these efforts made October the strongest month yet for the Foundation’s annual giving activities and set a new benchmark for what the AV community can achieve.
