Network18 and AU Small Finance Bank to host a grand finale for ‘Badlaav Humse Hai' initiative

Network18 and AU Small Finance Bank are going to organise a grand finale event today for their ‘Badlaav Humse Hai’ initiative.

The event is being organised at Trident, BKC Mumbai.

Badlaav Humse Hai, an initiative by Network18 and AU Small Finance Bank, features the journeys of twenty changemakers, who have been walking on a new path towards effective humanitarian service and making a significant difference in the lives of individuals and communities in India.

In the course of six months, the teams visited different corners of the country covering stories of changemakers who are working relentlessly in uplifting the lives of the vulnerable and marginalised sections of the society. From education to employment; providing free medical aid to empowering people with self-sustainable initiatives, the campaign brings to light some of the most pertinent societal issues persisting in the community. 

The event will celebrate, honour and recognise the applaud-worthy contributions of these unsung heroes. The celebratory moment will be graced by several dignitaries from across India’s political, business and social sphere including Eknath Shinde, Chief Minister of Maharashtra; Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister of Tourism, Skill and Entrepreneurship and Women and Child Development, Maharashtra; Narayanan K Murthy, Founder Infosys; Kailash Satyarthi, social worker and Nobel Peace Prize recipient; actor Dia Mirza, and many more. 

Bringing together some of the most eminent leaders who are committed to building a sustainable and inclusive community for all, the finale aims to laud and motivate these changemakers to continue in their efforts.

Uttam Tibrewal, Executive Director, AU Small Finance Bank, said, “The core philosophy of AU Small Finance Bank is around bringing Badlaav in the way banking has been conducted in our country. Through our product, services and offerings, we have been living up to this promise for over 3.3 million customers across the country. This initiative was a great extension to the same philosophy, by associating with these changemakers. It is time we identify and celebrate such individual changemakers who are bringing strong, positive and impactful change across the society.” Tibrewal also extended his gratitude towards Network18 for their continued partnership and cooperation with this initiative.

S Shivakumar, COO, Branded Content, Network 18, also shared his thoughts on the campaign, "Network18 is glad to have been a part of this initiative where we highlight the stories of changemakers from India's rural areas and put the spotlight on the issues that matter. Our efforts have been focused on raising awareness about important issues and inspiring action. Our goal is to motivate and inspire changemakers to recognise the significant impact that even tiny actions can have." 

The live streaming of this event can be viewed on social media channels at 6:30 pm today.
