IBG will be hosting a quarterly Industry specific Awards, to recognize key players in different sets of businesses. As a first, We are planning a Real Estate Awards, covering all aspects, from top builders, township projects, iconic new buildings in Mumbai, infrastructure projects, etc etc.

The real estate Industry is one of the largest employers In Mumbai, and providers of downstream work to small scale businesses. Its an important barometer of the economic health of the city. currently the industry is passing through a low phase. We will hold a half day conference around these awards where top speakers will talk on the subject.

Make-A-Wish Foundation® of India is a non-profit organization established in 1996 and since then has fulfilled wishes of 52,710 children diagnosed with a critical illness, mostly Cancer. This year they are aiming to grant wishes of 7,500 such children.

 

As part of the CSR initiative at IBG, we have partnered with Make-A-Wish India, on a long term basis till the year 2020, to help them accomplish the goal to grant the wish of the 75,000th child by 2020, which is their silver jubilee year. Make-A-Wish India is approved by Ministry of Corporate Affairs and can provide you benefits under the 2% CSR initiative.

Doctors have shared that granting the wish of such a child, helps restore hope, strength and joy and helps the child respond better to the medical treatment and reduce the drop-out rate at hospitals. A nominal donation of Rs. 1 lac can help grant wishes of 12 children.

For children battling life-threatening illnesses the joys of childhood are replaced with a daily battle for survival, painful treatment and medication and endless rounds of hospitals. The fulfilment of the most cherished wish of a child who has very little hope of enjoying a normal, healthy life not only gives happiness and joy to him/her but also has a therapeutic effect on the child. Doctors have often reported an improvement in the child’s physical condition, after the fulfilment of his / her dearest wish

We urge you to consider support to this unique cause by adopting wishes or under your CSR program. Write to Deepak S Bhatia, CEO at Make-A-Wish India on ceo@makeawishindia.org for any further information.
