At Milaan, we believe in the power of collaboration to challenge intergenerational social norms and create alternative narratives. The name, Milaan, comes from the combination of two words: Milan, meaning coming together, and Elaan, meaning declaration, which collectively signifies the coming together of diverse mission-driven people for a movement demanding a more equal and just world.

We strive to nurture, invest in, and amplify the voices of adolescent girls from marginalised communities in India and are driven by the belief that adolescent girls exhibit immense potential and passion for change. Their stories of hope and aspiration have the power to challenge the regressive socio-cultural gender norms that prevail to restrict them from exploring their full potential.
