Facilitating sustainable livelihoods to
Transgender persons and fostering LGBTQIA+ equity at workplaces.
From 'PERIPHERY' to the 'CENTRE STAGE'
Familial conflict, social stigma, and a lack of opportunities and support. These are the forces that push a transgender person to the fringes of society.
PeriFerry has derived its roots and name from the very phenomenon - to be at the edge. Founded in 2017 by young social entrepreneurs, we are the first-of-its-kind impact enterprise in India that is solely dedicated to creating employment and upskilling opportunities for the transgender community.

Bridging Two Very Unique Worlds
PeriFerry’s nuanced approach is to integrate two unique players: the corporates and the LGBTQIA+ community; hence providing services that are scalable and impactful.
Holistic
Approach
What you see is what you get: we are honest about what we can offer and will always prioritize your needs. Get suggestions if they're not within our scope of work.
