FICCI FLO Mumbai Celebrates Mother’s Day with a Heartfelt Tribute to Inclusivity and Empowerment

Mumbai :FICCI FLO, under the dynamic leadership of its youngest-ever Chairperson, Pooja Arambhan Tiwari, hosted a poignant and powerful Mother’s Day celebration at Hyatt Centric, Juhu. Aligned with Pooja’s focus for the year—inclusivity and sensitisation towards the deaf and mute community—the event was a beautiful reminder of the many forms of motherhood, resilience, and strength.

The afternoon opened on an emotional note with Riddhi Mehta, a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), who shared her deeply personal story titled “A Mother’s Love Beyond Words.” Her moving tribute highlighted the power of silent love and her ongoing mission to make public spaces more inclusive for the deaf and mute community.

This was followed by a captivating off-the-cuff conversation between veteran actor and jewellery designer Zarine Khan and her daughter Farah Khan Ali, moderated by past Chairperson and founder of Beyond Borders, Tehmina Khandwala. The duo offered candid insights into their entrepreneurial journey, mother-daughter dynamics, and the importance of staying authentic to one’s vision amidst changing times. Their chemistry and stories resonated deeply with the audience, adding a touch of warmth and inspiration to the afternoon.

Members were treated to specially curated giveaways by 7e Wellness, rounding off the event with a gesture of self-care and appreciation.

Speaking at the event, Chairperson Pooja Arambhan Tiwari remarked, “This year, we are not only celebrating mothers but also advocating for empathy, accessibility, and equal opportunity. Today’s event is a small but meaningful step in that direction.”

The event marks yet another milestone in FICCI FLO Mumbai’s journey towards creating a more inclusive and compassionate society under Pooja’s visionary leadership.
