RISE (Reimagining Inclusion for Social Equity), the annual flagship event of Pride Circle, is a first-of-its-kind initiative that works towards equal opportunities and workplace inclusion for the LGBT+ community.
The event that was first held in Bangalore in 2019 left strong imprints as the first & biggest LGBT+ Job Fair, Conference and Marketplace of India.
Followed by its enormous success, the second edition of RISE was held in New Delhi in February 2020, which lived up to its buzz and expectations with a footfall of 1000+.
