In Polaris, Corporate
Social REsponsibility (CSR) or Corporate Citizenship
is not just an involvement in charitable or philanthropic
activities due to business responsibility but
our organization's conscious decision to support
our social, economic and ethical responsibilities.
CSR practice is embedded in our organisation culture
and is part of our way to give back to the society
where we live and owe our growth to.
Ullas Trust
Ullas Trust (Polaris’ CSR
initiative) was started in 1997 by the Polaris
employees, with an aim to integrate Polaris
with a larger community and enable them
to enjoy the bliss of working with young
minds in the country.
The primary motive of Ullas is to recognize
academic excellence in students from the
economically challenged sections of our
society and encourage the “Can do” spirit
towards chasing their dreams and aspirations.
Very early in its evolution, Ullas decided
to focus its energies on students during
the most vulnerable stage in their journey
– adolescence! This would translate into
students from Class (Grade) 9th to 12th.
It is this objective that
Laser Soft Info systems, a group Company
of Polaris Financial Technology, launched
the initiative called 'Sampada' - involving
PWD (People with Disability) or Differently
Abled People (DAP) as we prefer to call
them, into our company's mainstream. Today,
as an organization, we have Differently
Abled People as associates (we refer to
our 'employees' as associates) recruited
and performing across different levels in
the organization.
