A Decade of Remarkable Collaboration: Gracia Marcom and FIA's Journey
Our journey with the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) began in September 2013, sparked by a call that sought our creative expertise for event design and concept creation. That simple beginning laid the foundation for an enduring partnership that, over ten years, has blossomed into a tapestry of iconic milestones, mutual respect, and shared passion for promoting Indian culture on a global stage.
Our first major project was redesigning the FIA logo—a blend of traditional symbolism and modern aesthetics that signified a fresh chapter for FIA and set the stage for future collaborations. This initial success evolved into a steady partnership, leading to our involvement in some of the most defining events of the FIA calendar. The India Day Parade in New York, a grand celebration of Indian heritage, became our signature project, where we managed everything from the creative design of floats to the seamless orchestration of event logistics.
Over the years, we have diversified our contributions by leading multiple cultural and social events such as Dance Pe Chance, Women’s Day, Yoga Day, Gujarat-Maharashtra Day, and the Diwali Soup Kitchen. Each event was an opportunity to creatively represent Indian values and foster a sense of community.
In 2018, we undertook the theme "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (the world is one family) for the India Day Parade, and in 2019, under "Salute our troops, Support our troops," we honored the spirit of the Indian Armed Forces. Both years showcased the precision, planning, and heartfelt dedication we bring to each project. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 marked a new chapter for us. Unable to conduct the parade traditionally, we orchestrated the first-ever Indian Tricolor Flag hoisting at Times Square—an historic moment that celebrated our resilience and adaptability.
In 2022, FIA achieved two Guinness World Records in one day—a testament to meticulous planning and teamwork, reflecting our shared commitment to excellence. Then in 2023, under the theme "Mission Life: Together Towards a Green Ecosystem," we aligned the India Day Parade with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, reinforcing our mutual dedication to environmental stewardship.
As we look forward, Gracia Marcom is filled with gratitude and excitement to continue this incredible journey with FIA. Together, we have forged a legacy of cultural representation and community pride that promises to thrive and evolve, inspiring future generations with every step.
