WPP Foundation celebrated its CSR Day at WPP’s new Bay99 Campus in Mumbai, alongside more than 3500 employees from 19 WPP agencies. An interaction and engagement with more than 200 children from four schools ​supported by WPP Foundation was organized.

Said CVL Srinivas, Country Manager for WPP in India: “It was delightful to see the level of enthusiasm from WPP staff in supporting the WPP India Foundation. The aim of having a CSR Day was to raise awareness amongst our employees towards the needs within our community. We want to create a supportive network for the next generation. The learnings from today extend beyond the workplace and the classroom as our people have gained new insights from their interactions, with some preparing to take on more active volunteer work with the WPP India Foundation.”

Added Rama Iyer, Director General, WPP India CSR Foundation: “We are thrilled to see the entire WPP team come together with our children as a large family, with our children taking center stage through various workshops. The sheer thrill and joy experienced by our children from playing an active part in this event, was equally shared by our employees. Such initiatives help to build confidence among our children with a sense of achievement and growing self-esteem. We look forward to opening more doors of engagement between our employees and children.”
