"I was at our Wadala Terminal in Mumbai today to commemorate the 2nd #IndianOilSafetyDay, with the senior leadership, heads of the Safety teams and IOCians. It was an occasion to pledge our collective and enduring commitment to uphold and strengthen the culture of safety every step of the way - across installations and stakeholder groups. Beginning with the operations, to the transportation of petroleum products and right upto the homes of our customers, safety remains a paramount and non negotiable tenet for us. The pursuit towards excellence drives us to constantly innovate and integrate technology in strengthening the safety quotient. It’s heartening that our pioneering initiatives for road safety, that included awareness and health campaigns for tank truck drivers, minimising night driving, among others, have yielded positive outcomes, leading to a drastic reduction in accidents. I also reiterated my belief that in the long run, it's not just the profits, rather a robust culture of safety that will define us. Embracing the spirit of 'Nation First', let’s together champion a future where safety is a way of life, embedded in every thought & action, and every stakeholder goes back home safe and sound." - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #SafetyFirst #SafetyAboveAll #IndianOilCares #IndianOilSafetyDay #SafetyFirst #SafetyAboveAll #IndianOilCares

"This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, we are reminded of the delicate beauty of nature's riches. And to cherish every chirp & flutter, our ecological parks nestled in the heart of #IndianOil refineries as well as at our other operating locations and greenbelts ensure there is a second home to welcome the winged visitors. These lush green spaces are a powerful testament to the fact that even at the heart of bustling operating plants, nature can find sanctuary. We are not just fuelling the nation, but also lighting the way to sustainable possibilities." - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #NatureMeetsNurture #IndianOilCares #SecondHome #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #IndianOil #NatureMeetsNurture #IndianOilCares #SecondHome

"Embracing a transformative moment in Chennai, met and interacted with five spirited, visually impaired students and presented them with the Smart Vision Glasses (SVG). These glasses crafted by Bengaluru's Smart Health Global Technologies, are a beacon of hope crystalised in a frame. Proud that, to date, we have lit up the lives of 90 bright young minds, reshaping the way these students read, write, and perceive their environment. This initiative is a reiteration of our commitment to support life-changing innovations that improves quality of life. Here's to making a difference, one vision at a time!" - S M Vaidya, Chairman,IndianOil #EmpoweringVision #InnovateForChange #IndianOilCares #EmpoweringVision #InnovateForChange #IndianOilCares

" #WorldSuicidePreventionDay brings forth a stark reminder that every 40 seconds, a precious life is lost to suicide. It deeply saddens me, especially knowing that our youth, aged 15 to 29, are the most affected. It’s really upto each one of us to make a difference. Raising awareness, talking about mental health issues, supporting our friends and colleagues through tough times, encouraging them to seek help and igniting hope in the bounties of life, can heal a soul. At IndianOil, ensuring the holistic well-being of our people is imperative. Our recent initiative 'Paramarsh' is a platform to connect IOCians with mental wellness counsellors and seek help. The program is being scaled up to reach team members across the country. With every step we take, let us together create an environment of understanding and support that encompasses the entire IndianOil family and beyond. As Maya Angelou said, “No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.” - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #HealandHope #IndianOilCares #MentalWellnessMatters #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #HealandHope #IndianOilCares #MentalWellnessMatters

"The warmth, hope, and boundless love of ‘Nani Maria Society’ in Roing, Arunachal Pradesh, on my visit there yesterday, was truly a heartwarming and humbling experience for me. It brought perspective to the sheer magnitude of #selfless service that some souls embark upon. The realisation that it was Mother Teresa's birthday made the day more special. I am talking of Mrs Desai Linggi, fondly known as 'Nani' or Mother, who stands as a beacon of hope. Her two decade-long journey as a social worker and child rights activist is nothing short of inspiring. She has fearlessly combated child trafficking, reached out to the abandoned, uplifted the specially abled, and stood strong with juvenile rape victims. Her boundless #compassion has lit up the lives of hundreds of kids, and I was privileged to witness these blooms of transformation firsthand. What is incredible is that #NaniDesai initiated this mission single-handedly, reinforcing the power of ONE, which I strongly believe in. Her life long dedication to society's most vulnerable children speaks of an indomitable spirit that only a few possess. Every laugh, every hopeful gaze, and every life she has touched stands testament to her profound impact. While organisations, institutions work towards social stewardship, the endeavours of individuals like Nani Desai anchor our beliefs in the power of love and the goodness of #humanity. Let us celebrate those like #DesaiLinggi, who choose the path less trodden, who inspire with selfless devotion, and whose actions ripple out, making this world a better, brighter place and creating a legacy of #hope. So whenever you get distressed by the small discomforts and challenges in life, think about the incredible zeal of Nani Maria and march ahead!" - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #NaniMariaSociety #PowerOfOne #ChangingLives #IndianOilCares #selfless #compassion #NaniDesai #humanity #DesaiLinggi #hope #NaniMariaSociety #PowerOfOne #ChangingLives #IndianOilCares

"Delighted to inaugurate the crèche at Punjab State Office, Chandigarh. The innocent laughter, curious eyes, and radiant smiles of our young ones truly warmed my heart. I am sure the kids will be happy and comfortable at this facility, while their parents give their best at their workplace. Their happiness is truly our reward!" - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #IndianOilCares #NurturingFutures #IndianOilCares #NurturingFutures

"Thrilled to inaugurate Phase-6 of 'Parivartan - Prison to Pride' & Phase-3 of 'Nayi Disha - Smile for Juvenile' today. The essence of these twin initiatives is to guide inmates towards brighter futures through the medium of sports. Two years in, and we've reached a monumental century of locations nationwide. Today, this unique outreach has touched the lives of about 4500 inmates across 105 prisons and correction homes, spanning 24 States and 5 Union Territories. It serves as an enduring testament to transformative change. 'Parivartan' and 'Nayi Disha' echo IndianOil's unwavering commitment to our 'Nation-First' value - fostering inclusivity and second chances for all. It's more than business; it's a responsibility. Deeply appreciate the prison administration for their support and belief in this transformative journey. Together, we envision a more compassionate and inclusive tomorrow. Onwards to a radiant future!" - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #IndianOilCares #NationFirst #SecondChances #IndianOilCares #NationFirst #SecondChances

"Delighted to launch the Phase V of 'Parivartan- Prison to Pride' & Phase II of 'Nayi Disha - Smile for Juvenile' today. Our mission to uplift & transform lives by leveraging sports as a catalyst for change continues to grow new roots. Parivartan was rolled out on August 15, 2021 and it has touched the lives of over 2900 inmates housed in 51 prisons in 21 States and 5 Union Territories. Today we are extending our mission to 7 additional prisons to include more inmates in this phase. In its new phase, 'Nayi Disha' is poised to guide 1000 youngsters in 18 juvenile homes towards resilience and positive growth. By nurturing their skills, we aim to redefine their futures. A heartfelt thank you to our prison & government partners who have stood by us in these endeavours. A special shout out to our galaxy of IndianOil sports stars and coaches who are the real catalysts of this journey of transformation. As global sports icons they have done the nation proud and in this new role their passion and determination is praiseworthy. #Parivartan & #NayiDisha aren't mere initiatives - they are solid proofs of the transformative power of sports for a more #inclusive society. Together, let's continue to pave the path towards a brighter future.
