Unveiling the Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility at Celigo
In an era where Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not just a buzzword but a business imperative, companies are increasingly leveraging their resources and influence to make a tangible impact on society. Celigo, a leading integration platform as a service (iPaaS) provider, stands at the forefront of this movement, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to fostering community well-being and cultivating a culture of social responsibility.
We had the privilege of sitting down with Manisha Dash, the Head of HR for the Asia-Pacific region at Celigo India, to delve into the company’s CSR initiatives and explore how these efforts align with its core values and mission.
Excerpts of an interview:
Share an overview of your company’s CSR initiatives and how they align with its core values and mission.
Celigo has engaged in several Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, demonstrating a commitment to social impact and employee well-being. One initiative involved a Material Collection Drive at the Hyderabad office in collaboration with the non-profit organization Goonj. The drive focused on collecting clothes, books, stationery, and toys to support underprivileged communities in remote villages. Employees actively participated, volunteering their time for the cause.
Celigo also partnered with the Robin Hood Army NGO to support ARUN Rainbow Home Girl Child Orphanage. This collaboration aimed to provide free groceries and daily resources for the children at the orphanage, contributing to their well-being. Furthermore, Celigo prioritized employee well-being through Wellbeing Sessions. One such session was “How to Build Emotional Resilience at Work”.
The session highlighted the crucial role of resilience in leadership and provided insights into cultivating resilient teams. It also explored the benefits of incorporating positive emotions into daily work life, contributing to the overall well-being and professional development of the employees. These initiatives reflect Celigo’s commitment to social responsibility, community well-being, and employee engagement.
