Philosophy & Resolve
No business can function in a vacuum. There is the society
at large with which it engages in innumerable transactions;
the more involved the engagement, the better its qualitative
and quantitative effect on the business. Aware of this
debt to society, a successful corporate like Videocon
is committed to fulfilling its obligations: both as
providers of outstanding products as well as sterling
community initiatives.
They include, among others, a first-rate academic haven
for the high-school education of underprivileged girls
and a 100% world-class, charitable hospital specializing
in cancer and heart surgery for the benefit of society’s
marginalised sections. Videocon’s deep-rooted
commitment to environment conservation translates into
process improvements that help recycle CRT glass, curb
carbon emissions and other pollutants. Among others,
the group’s India glass plant has supported a
large-scale initiative like the plantation of over 2,00,000
teak trees.
Apart from material support, society needs spirit; that
vital ingredient that makes the difference between living
life and merely existing. Videocon is inspired heavily
by the uplifting nature of sports; its power to generate
mass passion, where innumerable hearts throb as in unison;
its ability to draw people together irrespective of
differences in race, religion, gender or caste. Unity
of spirit and purpose is ultimately what builds bridges
between diverse cultures. This is the core belief of
a group that has operations spread over a cross-cultural
milieu worldwide. Videocon supports mass sports for
another reason: at the heart of sports is fair play,
a virtue that enjoys exalted status among values cherished
by Videocon.
The group’s sponsorship of cricketing events across
the globe underlies its commitment and passion for sports
as well as its goal to uplift the spirits of a global
audience. Videocon has not forgotten the grassroots
either; the Videocon School of Cricket launched in Kolkata
under the guidance of former India captain, Saurav Ganguly,
aims to inspire budding cricketers in the age group
of 10 to 17 years to greater heights. Back to top
