This campaign provides comprehensive first-line crisis management, a robust referral system for survivors, extensive resource support, and a structured batterer intervention program designed to create safer home environments. In her entrepreneurial role, Vatsala is the Co-founder of Magic Seed, an eco-centric brand that excels in sustainable gifting and branding materials. This venture aligns seamlessly with the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework, promoting sustainability and encouraging businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.
