On World Syndrome Day, Reliance Retail commemorated the remarkable journey of Devanshi Joshi, a team member at their Smart Bazaar outlet in Vasant Kunj, who embodies the spirit of inclusion and champions equity in society. Devanshi Joshi, the first woman with Down Syndrome to enroll in the Women’s Institute of Leadership and Disability (WILD) in Eugene, Oregon, USA, has been recognized by the Election Commission as a national icon for her efforts in promoting inclusivity.
From scaling the daunting heights of the 18,380-feet-high Khardungla Pass to joining the Reliance Retail team in Vasant Kunj as a Customer Service Associate, Devanshi’s story serves as a beacon of inspiration not only for individuals facing similar challenges but also for the retail industry as a whole, urging them to embrace and integrate such resilient individuals into their workforce.
Reliance Retail shared Devanshi’s journey, highlighting her triumphs, struggles, and unwavering determination on their LinkedIn profile. Her achievements stand as a testament to the values of inclusivity and empowerment for all, regardless of ability. Reliance Retail celebrates this diversity and inclusivity through campaigns like #HumansofRelianceRetail and #WomenofRelianceRetail.
