Go Teach (Education)

We in association with Oasis India (NGO) started an initiative called "Blue Edge - Empowering Lives", which is aimed at enriching the lives of young adults from difficult environment, who have not been able to complete their education. Through this initiative we enable around 50 students every six months, by providing training on English Speaking, Computer Skills, Life Skills and Customer Orientation.

One amongst the biggest concerns facing today's world is global warming. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. The main cause of Global Warming is emission of CO2. We have fervently taken up various steps in this regard, to sum up as 'Go Green' initiatives:

" Sapling plantation. " Recycling Waste. " Energy Conservation (Eg. Power Saver: Lights Off Initiative)
" Route Optimization

Go Help (Disaster Management Response)

We in association with Think Foundation (NGO), Sarla Blood Bank and other blood banks regularly hold Blood Donation Drives at our facilities, to help young Thalassaemia patients, who need blood transfusion every 15 days to survive. In October 2009, floods at Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka affected hundreds of lives, who lost their near and dear ones, homes and belongings. To make a difference in the lives of the affected people, we decided to do something quick and called for support from its Group Company - DHL. Teams from all Business Units responded fast and a quick plan was worked out to send the relief material to the affected areas of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. We jointly with our colleagues from DHL, organized Volunteers Day, to promote the spirit of volunteerism amongst our employees in India. We organize the 'Help a Child' initiative to mobilize resources from across the Regions and give 'gifts' to deprived children during the festive season of Christmas. The gifts comprised bags of donations - clothes, woolen clothes, toys, books, stationery, bags, shoes, lunch boxes, water bottles, soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, etc
