Commenting on the association Bollywood Diva Karishma Kapoor said, “It is indeed an honour for me to be engaging with such an initiative which gives me an opportunity to interact with these lively children. Project Crayons is doing a fabulous job and I am glad Gitanjali Group and Archana Kochhar invited me for this humble cause.”

Speaking about her association with Project Crayons, Archana Kochhar, added “To lend a helping hand to the society has always been my effort, and hence the collaboration with Gitanjali Group and Project Crayons in empowering women. My collection, ‘Mumbai Checkmate’ inculcates the most intricate things about the city that never sleeps and has been my brainwave to create this collection. It is due to be showcased at the Lakme Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2013. It was beautiful partnering with the Dcasters and the most celebrated brand Gitanjali Group and I am more than glad to have the lovely Karishma Kapoor over to support the cause!
