Who Are We?

We are a diverse community builder through our retreats and events specializing in global Diwali diversity & women empowerment events since 2005. We added an annual International Women’s Day event and retreats to honor, celebrate, and network with women in 2020 and India Independence Day flag hoisting in 2019 to bring in cultural immigrant ties in the United States.

In 2022 we further expanded to Palm Beach & Orlando in Florida & internationally we hosted our annual Grand Diwali in India in 2022 with 12 Americans. We hosted our first international women’s day global retreat globally in the south of France, French Riviera in March 2023. Expanding to London in 2023 for Diwali High Tea-Tasting retreat and Gold Diwali Gala.

• Philanthropy - In the height of the pandemic, on June 25th, 2021, we introduced Maharani. An Indian Queen. A line of queen-inspired outfits for purchase, made by Covid-affected grassroots women of India. Inspired by the Diwali Goddess Lakshmi, India’s Royalty, Maharani, a symbol of an Indian royalty born to empower women globally. The soul of a Maharani lies in engaging women from diverse backgrounds into one, by the divine Diwali’s Light of Hope. During the pandemic, Maharani was born in the city of Jaipur in Northern India from powerful women looking for a way to support their families and bring value to their craft. With modern tech, our CEO, Manisha Beriwala, helped design each of these exquisite handmade & handcrafted fashion pieces. Not only were these women able to generate financial wealth, but they were finding themselves. Grace - Goddess - Global. Maharani aims to empower fashion creators to express their creativity while generating financial wealth for their families and communities. Making every woman find her worth by finding her value, don’t donate but support these women by wearing their handmade pieces by buying them @maharani_tcd.

• Philanthropy - TCD-Giving. The Corporate Diwali Giving is a non for profit, youth led, diverse, community service, organization.  We started giving in November 2020 due to a recent passing of a family member, which encouraged us to design this program in Remembrance. Led by teen youth community leaders, we offer certification of recognition to them for their service. This is a platform to serve & commemorate our loved ones by uniting diversity through food. At T.C.D. Giving, we make home cooked, vegetarian, and Indian meals every Diwali and Thanksgiving. Food helps us connect with our roots and our individual food boxes contain rice, lentils, a vegetable, a basic salad, and sweet dessert. The food is then delivered to the homeless shelter(s) we choose to provide for that specific year. At the shelter, T.C.D. Giving volunteers help set up, supply, warm the food, and serve it. Small conversations are made with the residents of the shelter.Last year we served 100 food boxes, this year we will most likely serve 500 boxes. @tcdgiving.
