Fulfilling a Social Mandate
Endurance Technologies Limited operates with a core philosophy rooted in customer centricity, consistent delivery, and a continuous drive to push boundaries, extending this ethos to social responsibility. The company’s CSR activities are diligently undertaken in compliance with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, and its own comprehensive CSR Policy. For the financial year 2024-25, the company’s CSR obligation was calculated at Rs 12.5 crore, based on the average net profit of the preceding three financial years. Demonstrating its proactive stance, ETL not only met but exceeded this obligation by spending an additional Rs 67.4 lakh.
The implementation of these initiatives is primarily channeled through Sevak Trust, an organization with which Endurance Technologies has been associated for over a decade. The company’s CSR framework is governed by a robust three-tier structure, involving the CSR department, the CSR Committee, and the Board of Directors. The CSR Committee, chaired by Anurang Jain, the Managing Director, includes other key directors like Mr. Soumendra Basu, Mrs. Varsha Jain, and Mr. Rajendra Abhange. This committee plays a crucial role in recommending and approving CSR projects and programmes, ensuring alignment with the company’s social commitments and ethical values.
Empowering Communities Through Holistic Development
A significant portion of the CSR spending was directed towards the Village Development Project (VDP), which received Rs 5.775 crore. This project adopts a multi-faceted approach, addressing crucial aspects of water and sanitation, agriculture and livelihood, health and nutrition, education, and broader community development.
In a particularly human-centered initiative, Endurance Technologies, in partnership with Kamal Nayan Bajaj Hospital, launched a Mobile Medical Clinic in April 2024. This clinic, equipped with essential diagnostic tools and staffed by a dedicated medical team, operates on a fortnightly schedule, serving 47 villages across four blocks in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar District. In FY 2024-25 alone, this initiative reached and treated approximately 4,850 patients, significantly improving healthcare accessibility for underserved communities. Beyond mobile clinics, the company’s efforts also included renovating three schools with solar energy and hygiene facilities, training 900 adolescent girls in health and skills, empowering over 1,000 farmers through sustainable agriculture programs, and building 32 toilets to improve sanitation. The Vet Van program also treated 8,050 animals across 47 villages, highlighting a comprehensive care approach.

Furthermore, the company supports early childhood education through a Balwadi at Waluj, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, providing pre-school and daycare to underprivileged children aged 2-6 years. Rs 24 lakh was spent on furniture and fixtures for the new Balwadi building, ensuring a conducive learning environment. Another notable cultural investment included Rs 3 crore for the construction of the Kagzipura Paper Museum and Paithani Art Training Centre, aiming to revive the traditional Paithani art.
