Change is the name of the game, and it was happening at Prabhadevi. The TransFormation Salon has become the city’s first salon to be run by transgender persons. This unisex salon, offering all beauty services, is now open for clients. Representatives from Deutsche Bank and Rotary Club of Bombay, who have partnered to create this equitable livelihood avenue were at the peppy, exciting inauguration on Saturday morning.

Vineet Bhatnagar, president Rotary Club of Bombay said, “While inclusion is important, we put professionalism above all. We are going to have top-notch trained personnel at the salon because in the end, it will be quality of services that speaks.”  “We look at projects where we have our staff involvement, like this initiative. We also employ sexual minorities and persons with disability in our branches. We do not just ‘assuage’ guilt by writing a cheque,” said Kaushik Shaparia, CEO, Deutsche Bank Group India.
