"As we commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, it was my profound honor to recognize the courage and resilience of the incredible women at 'Sheroes Hangout Café' in Lucknow. This unique café, steered by acid attack survivors, stands as a beacon of hope and defiance against adversity. The team, comprising women from diverse backgrounds, not only serves delightful cuisine but also imparts indelible lessons of strength and endurance. Their extraordinary paths resonate deeply with IndianOil’s ethos. Reflecting on their powerful narratives reinforces our pledge to cultivate an environment that is both inclusive and nurturing for everyone. In the same spirit, engaging with the indomitable Dr. Arunima Sinha, Padmashree awardee and an Indane distributor, has been nothing short of inspirational. Her remarkable transition from a national-level volleyball player to the first female amputee to scale Mount Everest exemplifies the sheer force of human will. Dr. Sinha's story beautifully mirrors the essence of resilience and the remarkable impact of perseverance. On this significant day, we also celebrated the indelible spirit of our extraordinary women channel partners in Lucknow. These remarkable entrepreneurs not only manage our fuel stations with utmost dedication and efficiency but are also integral to Indane's expansive reach in the region. Our research has shown that these women-led initiatives are outperforming others by a significant margin due to their exceptional customer service and stringent adherence to safety, which in turn is propelling us towards our aspiration of zero LPG-related accidents. The success of these women not only fortifies the resolve of many aspiring women entrepreneurs but also paves the way for a future where the energy industry is shaped by diverse and empowered women leaders. Today, let's all take a moment to celebrate these women who, in the face of immense challenges, continue to triumph and redefine the landscape of our industry and society at large."

"Today was a special day for us that reinforced our faith in the incredible power of second chances. It was heartwarming to witness the seeds of our unique social transformation projects for the inmates of prisons and juvenile homes, bear fruits. Our ‘Parivartan – Prison to Pride’ and ‘Nayi Disha – Smile for Juvenile’ have been successfully leveraging the power of sports to heal, and help the inmates find a purpose. It was thus a great validation for us as teams from Yerawada Central Jail, Pune and Children Observation Home, Bhopal won gold medals for India at FIDE’s 3rd Intercontinental ‘Chess for Freedom’ online championship, held recently. Competing against 118 teams from 50 countries, the teams guided by IndianOil sports stars emerged champions. Last year, Yerawada team had for the first time won a bronze medal for the country in the chess for freedom event. The seeds for ‘Parivartan’ and ‘Nayi Disha’ initiatives were sown during my 2021 visit to Chanchalguda Prison in Hyderabad. At 'My Nation' Gas Station there, I had the opportunity to interact with a group of lively, efficient women customer attendants, who were former jail inmates, confidently taking charge of their lives and narratives. This was the ignition for the transformative journey of #Parivartan, launched in 2021. #NayiDisha soon followed, casting light upon young souls looking for a direction. Today, these gentle ripples have turned into waves of change, touching over 5,000 lives across 105 prisons and correctional facilities spanning 22 states and 6 Union Territories. The smiles, joy and the passion, is palpable across each of these facilities. Over the years, I have interacted with many of these inmates and their testimonials are the most genuine endorsements of our initiative. At today’s interaction, a young champ’s words resonated deeply. Sharing his learning, he said that "In chess, as in life, every move has consequences." This deep wisdom beyond his years underlines the essence and success of our effort. The impact we have been able to create inspires us to create a more #inclusive and #equitable world. These tales of redemption and optimism have been possible with the extraordinary efforts of IndianOil sports stars, coaches, coordinators as well as the supportive prison authorities. My heartfelt gratitude to each one of them. Taking this journey forward, we've joined hands with the jail authorities and have set up 'Hope' fuel stations, where former and current inmates find purpose, dignity, and a bridge to the world outside. And our recent pledge to support the extraordinary Indian para-athletes at the ongoing Para Asian Games and the Paris Paralympics 2024, reinforces our commitment to inclusivity. Ultimately, at the core, it's about the 'Power of One'. A single step, when taken with conviction, can alter destinies. Our quest is to light the way, extend a hand, and reaffirm the magic of second chances. Here's to a brighter, inclusive future for all!" - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #Parivartan #NayiDisha #inclusive #equitable

"On his birthday, we honour #NelsonMandela's legacy of tenacity, resilience, and indomitable hope. This year's theme - Climate, Food & Solidarity, resonates with his steadfast commitment to human rights and the power of collective strength, qualities we continually imbue. Madiba’s vision drives us to work towards a sustainable environment, uplifting communities and promoting inclusive growth. The words of Mandela, 'It always seems impossible until it's done’, remain my abiding inspiration in life. Let's transform challenges into opportunities. Together, let's shape an inclusive world!" - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #MandelaDay2023 #ClimateChange #Resilience #Solidarity #ItsInYourHands #InclusiveGrowth #NelsonMandela #MandelaDay2023 #ClimateChange #Resilience #Solidarity #ItsInYourHands #InclusiveGrowth
