    Said Aditi Mishra, CEO, Lodestar UM: “Our idea for Impact Day goes beyond commerce; we aim to foster enriching connections and meaningful experiences that positively impact the community,” adding: “By supporting LGBTQIA+ businesses, we are not only contributing to economic empowerment but also celebrating diversity and inclusion in a tangible way. Impact Day is a powerful reminder of how our collective efforts can drive meaningful change and create a better world for everyone.”

    “UMers from all over the globe look forward every year to volunteering as one connected team for our beloved Impact Day tradition,” added Andrea Suarez, Global CEO, UM. “Our theme this year, ‘One Day, One UM, One Better World’ highlights the incredible impact we can have when we harness the power of our collective action to give back to the communities in which we live, serve and flourish.”

    Every year, Lodestar UM shuts its offices on a work day and each employee engages in philanthropic work across Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru.

     

    This year from educating destitute women on menstrual hygiene to helping children in government-aided schools to make the right career choices, the Lodestar UM teams came together to make a difference in their own small way to the theme of Better World.

     

    Said Nandini Dias, CEO, Lodestar UM: “For us, this single day marks the beginning of a whole new year of commitment. Being conscious of what’s happening around us and finding solutions to create a better world is at the heart of our philosophy as an agency. I want to thank each one of my colleagues for the collective passion and goodwill they bring to this initiative. Their enthusiasm was heartwarming. Therefore, every year Impact Day turns out to be a day of fulfillment and achievement of a very different kind.”
