• Dipti’s parents don’t think about whether she will grow up to be an engineer or a doctor but instead about who will take care of her after they are not around?

• Rajeev is refused admission in a typical Day Care Centre considering “It would adversely affect the rest of the children”

Why Should I Care?

We’re into it together

Why Should I Care?

You are a part of an interconnected

ecosystem.

It does matter!!

- Corporate Social Responsibility is not the latest bullet or business fad, it is not a philanthropic idea. It is an imperative for both business and the countries we are operating in.

Why Should I Care?

Whatever we do today will have an impact on future generations. It’s not just my kids or your kids or somebody else’s. It’s future generations. We should not hope that the walls we build to protect ourselves will be tall enough to protect our children. Only with very conscious effort we can make the world for them a better place to live…even if we address our most selfish needs we have to address the needs of the next generation.

- “You cannot talk about CSR unless you love your people and your country”
