What is Rainbow Bazaar?
Welcome to the world of Rainbow Bazaar (RB) – where every color of the spectrum isn't just seen but celebrated! Imagine a magical marketplace vibrant and inclusive, where every product tells a story, and every purchase powers a dream. That's Rainbow Bazaar for you.
Rainbow Bazaar is a marketplace by LGBTQ+ owned small businesses in India, the first of its kind that enable livelihood opportunities for the community, by connecting them with buyers from across the countries and with companies.
It all began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a safe space for queer entrepreneurs to showcase their talents and connect with a wider audience. India saw its first ever LGBTQ+ Job Fair called RISE: Reimagining Inclusion for Social Equity, held at Bangalore in July 2019. A part of RISE was a day-long Marketplace by LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. It then transformed into a 24x7, 365 days a year, online Marketplace called Rainbow Bazaar.
But Rainbow Bazaar isn't just about selling products; it's about fostering community, driving change, and empowering the LGBT+ community to take control of their financial future. Whether you're a curious shopper or an aspiring entrepreneur, RB is the place where dreams find a home and talents shine bright.
So, what exactly can you find at Rainbow Bazaar?
The answer is – everything! From hand-crafted artisanal goods to fashion-forward clothing to home décor, to yummy cake, pickle, pasta and more! RB is a treasure trove of unique finds, and a fabulous Pride merch collection, all made with pride by queer hands.
Rainbow Bazaar is more than a marketplace – it's a movement. A movement that says, "We see you, we support you, and we're here to help you thrive." So, why not be a part of this vibrant revolution, that is about giving people an opportunity?
