Financial support at the start of the COVID Pandemic
The pandemic affected us on three different scales in India; at a national, state and local level. As a responsible member of corporate India, we are stakeholders at each of these scales. At a national and state level the crisis was primarily affecting food security, adequate health care and economic stability. Our response to this crisis at a national level was a contribution of Rs. 1 Crore to the PM Cares Fund out of which our 260 employees voluntarily contributed Rs. 7 Lakh from their monthly salary.
