Honored: Geetha & Curcumeal Receive Mockingjay Award!
Recognition becomes truly meaningful when it celebrates not just success, but purpose. In a proud and inspiring moment, Geetha Saleesh and her innovative creation, Curcumeal, were honored with the prestigious Mockingjay Award at a grand event held at Crown Plaza Kochi.
The award ceremony was hosted by NEED Global Foundation and centered around the powerful theme of “Diversity.” The event brought together changemakers, leaders, and entrepreneurs who are creating meaningful impact through inclusive growth and leadership.
A Recognition Rooted in Empowerment
Geetha’s journey has always been more than business it is about empowerment, sustainability, and creating opportunities. Through Curcumeal, she has built a model that supports local communities while promoting the value of high quality turmeric based products.
Receiving the Mockingjay Award is not just a milestone, but a recognition of consistent efforts toward uplifting communities, encouraging women’s participation, and building leadership from the grassroots level. This recognition joins a growing list of honours — including the Kairali TV Phoenix Award presented by Mammootty and the Jaivasamridhi Puraskaaram for organic farming leadership — each reflecting a different dimension of Geetha's impact.
A Prestigious Moment
The presence of Honourable MP Hibi Eden added significance and dignity to the occasion. His participation elevated the event and highlighted the importance of initiatives that promote diversity and inclusive leadership.
For Geetha, this moment symbolized years of dedication, resilience, and belief in a vision that blends tradition with innovation. Read the full story behind that vision →
Curcumeal: More Than a Product
Curcumeal represents transformation from farm to value added innovation. It reflects how local resources, when combined with knowledge and determination, can create sustainable impact. Made from high curcumin Prathibha turmeric grown by local farming communities, every spoonful carries the story of the fields, the farmers, and the purpose behind the brand.
The recognition at Crown Plaza Kochi stands as a reminder that when women lead with purpose and communities grow together, true diversity flourishes.
A Journey That Inspires
Awards may mark achievements, but they also inspire future possibilities. The Mockingjay Award is a celebration of leadership, courage, and commitment to change.
Geetha and Curcumeal’s recognition sends a powerful message that innovation rooted in empowerment can create lasting impact.
