Chief of Staff

About Us

We’re Tiny Miracles, an Amsterdam and Mumbai-based foundation and social  enterprise, and we’re tired of talking to corporations and selling them on an idealized  version of ‘social procurement’. “It's super easy and you help make a better future for  extremely vulnerable communities in Mumbai”. 

The fact is, by placing social impact at the heart of all we do, we aren't in the business  of convenience. After 10 years of trial and error, our manufacturing process (we  currently export 4 million products a year) revolves around taking the most inefficient,  but impactful route from point A to B. 

Sometimes, it looks like skill-training the most vulnerable groups we can find to create  products for caring customers. Other times it looks like creating confident, liberated  communities via storytelling workshops, trips to theme parks and mental health support.  All whilst trying to inspire others to do as we do (or even do it better). 

The fact is, lots of things can create ‘impact’.
