Coalescing Profit with Purpose

 img01Better cleaning & hygiene helps in:

  • Better Health
  • Mental & Physical Vigour
  • Productivity
  • Innovation
  • Desire to do things
  • Move forward

 We are hugely committed to improving the hygiene standards of the country. However again I would say, it will improve only by developing the sense of ownership among the users.

Mahindra’s CSR work is focussed on the following areas

  • Education
  • Healthcare & Sanitation
  • Environment
  • Livelihood Enhancement
  • Women Empowerment
  • Opportunities for those at the Base of Pyramid
  • Protection of Natural Heritage, Art and Culture
  • Aid for Armed Force Personnel’s Families
  • Encouragement for Sport
  • Technology Incubation
  • Rural Development
  • Disaster Relief & Rehabilitation

[box type=”shadow” ] Up Close & Personal

Theatre as your first love…

My love for theatre began when I was still studying at St. Columba’s in Delhi. It was 1962 and Doordarshan had just made its foray into homes in Delhi. One of our family friends was a Director with the channel and he asked my parents if I would act in a TV play. I can’t remember the name of the play but I do remember that I received the princely sum of Rs.15 for my efforts. It was a big moment for me and I even framed the cheque! What began as a mild flirtation with the spotlight soon turned into a full blown affair once I joined St. Stephen’s College.UP-Close

Once an Artist remains an artist…

A steadily increasing roster of professional commitments has meant precious little time for theatre in the intervening years. Yet, I have managed to keep my love for the art alive in one form or the other. After I joined Mahindra in 2004, I acted in a play for CII, along with Arun Nanda who is the Chairman of Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Ltd. & Chairman, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd.

Life beyond Mahindra

An avid book lover, I do practice yoga and reiki regularly and have also explored past-life experiences and firewalking.[/box]

We are part of the GRI, a triple bottom-line movement which means we are not only committed to profit but also to people and the planet.

Skill Development

We have been working on various educational/skill programs independently and in collaboration with the government. To unleash human potential & keep the retention ratio high, it is very important to keep each and every person in a team aligned. This alignment is possible only when each and every person is aware of the common purpose – the dream. This helps them pass through various ups and downs without losing the sense of purpose commitment.

 

[box type=”shadow” ]…we are taking so much from the society hence giving can be the only way to keep it sustainable in long run[/box]
