    “On our 40th anniversary, we did not want to send any commercial message about our progress or on the many specialized companies or divisions we have.  We wanted to touch the lives of those in need and help make the year a little bit better for them. The more responses we get, the more we will contribute to the charities involving education and healthcare. We’re hoping that the idea will ‘click’, and we will be seen as a caring organization. In any event we felt this would be a unique way to celebrate our Ruby Jubilee,” said Srinivasan K ‘Sundar’ Swamy, chairman, of the group.
