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.

Over 30 volunteers across departments including HR, Architecture, ESG, IT, Leasing, Tenant Relations among others, came together to assemble 7 wheelchairs in 4 hours using the given tools, while engaging in challenges that added a dynamic, problem-solving element to the activity. Expert guidance was available, to ensure an impactful experience for all.
