About Us

Late Ami Yogendra Baxi (1933 – 2017)

Founder Director
Mrs Ami Baxi, a prominent union leader at J.L. Morrison in the late 1960s, was a staunch advocate of socialist values, dedicating her life to the fight for workers’ rights and dignity. Grounded in the belief that collective ownership and control of the means of production lead to a fairer and more democratic society, she championed policies that prioritized human needs over profit. Her collaboration with Rosa Deshpande, daughter of renowned communist leader Shripad Amrit Dange, reflected her commitment to social justice and economic equality. Mrs. Baxi’s leadership emphasized the power of unity, planning over market forces, and the transformative potential of organized labor. Through her fearless voice and tireless efforts, she inspired a generation to stand up against exploitation. At Wings Foundation, we celebrate her legacy, drawing strength from her vision to continue building a society where equity, dignity, and shared responsibility are at the heart of progress .
