Building a more inclusive and greener India

As a Group, we have always actively championed social responsibility. We are now exploring ways to further this commitment through 'shared value' initiatives that create both social and business benefits.

As part of Good & Green by 2020, as a group we will aspire to:

Employability

Goodknight Fast Card

About 3.3 billion people are at risk of malaria, worldwide. India alone sees 24 million cases of malaria each year, with 90 per cent of our population residing in malaria prone areas.

In rural India, in particular, penetration of household insecticides is very low because current products are either expensive or require electricity. With Goodknight Fast Card, our idea was to launch a product that would break the price barrier (available at just ₹1 per card), work instantly and not require electricity.

We leveraged the idea of this revolutionary paper-based mosquito repellent from our Indonesia business and substantially modified the product for the Indian market.
