KIIT, KISS & KIMS Celebrate International

KIIT, KISS, and KIMS came together to celebrate International Women’s Day, reaffirming their commitment to gender equality and empowerment.

Dr. Achyuta Samanta, Founder, KIIT & KISS, expressed his deep appreciation for the contributions of women, emphasizing that the growth of KIIT has been driven by the respect and opportunities it provides to women. Giving importance on the theme “Give to Gain,” Dr. Samanta said, the joy of giving to others and the happiness it brings is unmatched. He highlighted that women are the backbone of the KIIT ecosystem, noting that around 50 per cent of the staff across KIIT, KISS and KIMS are women, which he described as the true beauty and strength of the institutions.

Sharing a personal note, he said his mother was his greatest inspiration, recalling how she faced life with dignity and courage after becoming a widow, never bowing before adversity. He said that the values she instilled in him ultimately shaped the vision that led to the creation of KIIT and KISS.

Dr. Samanta also encouraged women to continue strengthening themselves and supporting one another, while emphasizing that KIIT and KISS provide complete freedom and opportunity for women to excel.

He also urged everyone to spend time with and care for their parents, reminding them that their blessings are invaluable.
