MUMBAI: Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), the second largest car manufacturer in India and the largest passenger car exporter, takes its "New Thinking and New Possibilities" brand philosophy to the next level through its Hyundai Motor India Foundation.
HMIL's CSR arm, Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF) has been founded to follow sustainable, compassionate and effective practices for the community and has undertaken an innovative initiative to partner with KidZania Mumbai in the area of educational and vocational training for children.
As a part of HMIF's ongoing support to education projects, the foundation has undertaken a tie-up with the Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir (SSRVM) School in Dharavi, Mumbai, Asia's largest slum. The Art of Living teachers/volunteers run a special designed course for children: ArtExcel or All Round Training in Excellence. Hyundai, also a partner at KidZania, the world's leading edutainment brand for children, thought this a perfect opportunity to host kids from the SSRVM school for a day out at KidZania to give them exposure to new experiences that entail more than 90 role-playing activities including the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV), Car Dealership & Driving Street which Hyundai sponsors at KidZania. Kids from the school will get a chance to spend an entire day at KidZania and have 'fun, learning and freedom' all at the same time.
Commenting on this partnership, KidZania India spokesperson Viraj Jit Singh, Chief Marketing Officer said, "Supporting underprivileged children is at the core of our CSR strategy globally. We are proud to partner with Hyundai to create a special day for the kids from the Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir."
