Walchand PeopleFirst Ltd. (WPFL) launched CommunityFirst initiative to celebrate its 15th year anniversary with a purpose of sharing happiness with its people and society at large. CommunityFirst is a unique initiative which promotes employees to volunteer for bringing about a meaningful change in the society with a view to encourage common good and help them impact their surroundings positively.
Walchand PeopleFirst, under its CSR initiative, will provide a platform to employees to utilize their valuable time and skills for community welfare programs which in turn will help them towards having a deep sense of individual contentment.

This initiative gives us a platform to kindle, nurture and channelize the volunteering spirit in us and we believe that the outcome of this will bring about a greater difference towards the society. We continue to stay committed to the communities we operate in.”
