The safety kits include over 15,000 masks (N-95) which have been made mandatory amid an uptick in Covid-19 cases in Delhi-NCR recently.

Commenting on the surge of Covid-19 cases, Nishant Yadav, IAS, Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram, said “There has been a spike in the number of Covid-19 cases in Gurugram and neighboring districts. Wearing face masks has been made mandatory and everyone is urged to follow all Covid safety protocols and restrain from lowering their guard against Covid-19. We would like to thank PepsiCo India for their continued efforts and support in the effective management of the pandemic.”

About the initiative, Subroto Roy, Senior Director, Operations, Smile Foundation, said, “We are happy to partner with PepsiCo Foundation to fight the fast-rising cases of Covid -19 in Gurugram. This initiative is in line with our commitment to aid local administrations across the country and join hands in the fight against a possible resurgence of infections.”

Commenting on the initiative, Himanshu Priyadarshi, Director, Public Policy and Government Affairs, PepsiCo India said, “Being a responsible and committed corporate, PepsiCo India has been working towards supporting the Government’s covid-19 relief efforts and coordinating action at scale. We stand with the local administration and are actively supporting them in fighting against the fast-rising covid cases in Gurugram.”

The company also launched an initiative to distribute hygiene kits to the sanitation workers in Gurugram and create awareness on mask usage and compliance.
