“The Tough Turban further empowers Sikh riders to protect who they are. This initiative combines a lot of things we’re glad to focus on at Zulu Alpha Kilo–inclusion, innovation, and our core belief in using design thinking to solve real-world problems.” Zak Mroueh, Creative Chairman & Founder, Zulu Alpha Kilo
