MUMBAI (India CSR): Reinforcing its commitment to social responsibility, K Raheja Corp, India’s leading real estate conglomerate, recently hosted ‘Wheels of Kindness’, a unique employee initiative under its ‘Time off for Volunteering Policy’. The initiative brought employees together to assemble wheelchairs, which were subsequently donated to Cheshire Homes, an NGO that has supported more than 2,000 individuals with disabilities across India since its inception, enhancing mobility and independence for recipients. Designed in collaboration with Korelate Learning, a leading team-building establishment, the initiative brought together employees from Mindspace Business Parks REIT, Chalet Hotels Ltd., Inorbit Malls and K Raheja Corp Homes.

Expert guidance was available, to ensure an impactful experience for all.
