Maya Bazaar
An initiative by the team at Road to Utopia – a queer feminist DEI consulting firm that is steering the world toward empathy and respect – Maya Bazaar is a first-of-its-kind series of inclusive marketplaces organised in various cities of India. Launched in 2021, as a platform for business owners, artists, and performers from the LGBTQIA+ community, Maya Bazaar began as a way to amplify the presence of those less seen and heard, and to uplift communities and bolster livelihoods.
Today, Maya Bazaar has evolved into a festival where all minority communities showcase their offerings directly to consumers and the world, with love. So far, we have had 4 editions; one in Goa, in in Shimla, and two in Bangalore. The fifth edition is set to be held in Bangalore on 28 & 29 September this year at Jayamahal Palace Hotel Grounds.
