We are excited to announce that we have been honored with the prestigious Education & Empowering Communities Award at The CSR Journal Excellence Awards 2023. This recognition is not just a trophy on our shelf; it's a testament to our dedication to making a positive impact on society.
At the award ceremony at the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Mumbai, Mr. Girish Kapadia and Ms. Shraddha Lokhande from our CSR team received the award from Dr. Ramesh Pokhriya, Union Minister of Education.
This recognition is a team effort, acknowledging the dedication of every member. Join us in celebrating this milestone as we take a closer look at our award-winning initiatives and the journey that brought us here.
The CSR Journal Excellence Awards are all about acknowledging organizations that go beyond business as usual to create meaningful change. Winning the Education & Empowering Communities Award validates our commitment to social causes and our passion for making a difference.
Since our start in 2014, Entigrity has been more than just a service provider. We've been on a mission to blend business success with social responsibility. This award is a nod to our efforts in aligning our corporate goals with the greater good.
Through our nonprofit educational platform, Entigrity Academy, we want to upskill 500,000 professionals and students within the next 5 to 6 years. We offer EA (Enrolled Agent, US IRS Tax Professional Degree) exam preparation courses for INR 2999 (approximately USD 35).
Traditionally, these exam preparation courses come with a hefty price tag, ranging from USD $600 to $2000 (INR 50,000 to INR 2,00,000). Completing this course not only equips individuals with valuable skills but also ensures a 100% fee refund, further lowering financial barriers. We have already assisted 1153 students under this program.
Through the “1 Employee = 1 Underprivileged Child Support” program, we pledge each employee within the company to sponsor complete school education up to the 10th standard for an equivalent number of underprivileged children. This program helps us to provide invaluable resources such as education kits, computer support for schools, qualified teachers, improved infrastructure, and extended higher education assistance for deserving students. Mr. Shalin Parikh believes that this approach doesn't just benefit underprivileged children; it also enriches the corporate culture by nurturing a sense of purpose and fulfillment among employees, aligning corporate goals with the greater good of society.
Speaking on the occasion, Our CEO, Shalin Parikh, expressed gratitude during the ceremony, saying,
“We are honored to receive this prestigious award. Since our inception, Entigrity has been committed to making global professional courses accessible to all. Our '1 Employee = 1 Underprivileged Child Support' model embodies our dedication to bringing about positive change. We thank the esteemed jury for acknowledging our efforts and assure our continued commitment to elevating educational standards and making a lasting social impact.”
Winning the Education & Empowering Communities Award is not just a milestone; it's a call to action. It reaffirms our commitment to continue making a positive difference. As we celebrate, let's look forward to a future where businesses thrive and communities flourish.
Thank you to our incredible team, partners, and The CSR Journal for this recognition. Together, we're creating a future where success is measured by the impact we make.
