More than 45 employees from across group companies—Mindspace Business Parks, Chalet Hotels Ltd., K Raheja Corp Homes, and Inorbit Malls—came together to hand-paint over 60 pairs of canvas shoes for children preparing to return to school. Volunteers also curated stationery kits and customised notebooks, benefiting students from five municipal schools in the city.

Adding a special touch, 10 children from Mumbai Public School, Chandivali, participated in the painting activity, enhancing the sense of community and inclusion.

Urvi Aradhya, Chief Human Resources Officer, K Raheja Corp, said, “The ‘Time Off for Volunteering’ initiative reflects our commitment to giving back through employee-led interventions. Activities like these demonstrate how small acts can make a big difference.”

Gargi Modi, COO, ConnectFor, added, “It’s heartening to see companies like K Raheja Corp engage meaningfully with underserved communities. Through art and interaction, this initiative not only brings joy but also promotes the importance of education.”

Volunteers shared enthusiastic feedback, calling the experience “heartwarming”, “purposeful”, and “a great way to bond while giving back”.
