Bangalore,12^th October 2020.

Continuing its efforts to motivate and encourage employees to partake in social causes, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, today, conducted its 18^th ICARE activity, in Bangalore, spreading the message of respect and care for all human beings. Staying true to the company’s key social values of sustained community development, this time around, 380 employees came together to make personalized thank you e-cards for our indomitable frontline warriors in the fight against Covid pandemic. These e-cards will be distributed to the healthcare workers who are at the forefront which includes doctors, nurses and support staff from hospitals namely Victoria Hospital, KC General Hospital and CV Raman Hospital in Bangalore

As a part of this activity, TKM employees came together virtually through an e-enabled platform to make more than 500 personalized thank you e-cards for the healthcare warriors for their selfless contribution to save lives. This initiative acted as a platform for the volunteers to engage with each other and shower gratitude to healthcare warriors.

Sharing his thoughts on this activity, Mr. Vikram Gulati, Country Head & Senior Vice President, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “At TKM, we have been constantly striving for holistic and sustainable development of the local community through our CSR initiatives. Through ICARE platform we share our creative and best practices with the society and work towards bringing about a positive change in the community we live.
