Heeru Foundation started functioning in the month of October 2019. The first three months were utilised in talking to people, building a network, meeting people from different NGOs and other organisations, and thus identifying those that Heeru Foundation would like to join hands with and support.
Mr. Girish V. Katkoria, Chairman of Heeru Corrosion Protection Services Pvt. Ltd., and Trustee of Heeru Foundation, believes in long term association with the organisations that the Foundation supports. He took personal interest in knowing the organisations by interacting with their Founders, visiting their premises, and gauging their requirements. He also ensured maximum engagement of employees from the parent company, and his own participation in the planning and execution of the activities.
Mr. Rushabh Katkoria, the young and dynamic Managing Director of Heeru Corrosion Protection Services Pvt. Ltd., and Trustee of Heeru Foundation, is responsible for bringing energy and enthusiasm into the Team CSR. He was very clear that he wanted Heeru Foundation to work for the benefit of underprivileged/orphaned children, which is why most of the organisations singled out to support this year, are dealing with different developmental aspects of young children.
Mrs. Ratna Shrinvasan, Head CSR, joined the company in October 2019, just as Heeru Foundation was being set up. She brings with her the rich experience of three decades in the field of Education, which includes heading three different schools in the city of Vadodara. She has been instrumental in networking, researching about, and identifying the various organisations that Heeru Foundation is supporting in this Financial Year, and the next.
