Shiksha (shik-sha | Meaning: Education)
To support communities (especially, underprivileged) through scholarships, education, skill development, and research initiatives.
As one of the most influential drivers of societal and economic advancement, education holds unparalleled potential. At Tata Elxsi, we understand that access to quality education is a fundamental right, one that has the ability to empower individuals, uplift communities, and transform lives. Our education initiatives are strategically designed to eliminate the barriers that hinder individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them the opportunity to overcome socioeconomic challenges and build brighter, more promising future.
Insights for Innovation – Strengthening Education in Kerala’s Government Schools
In Kerala’s government schools, persistent gaps in learning, particularly in mathematics and English, continue to pose significant challenges, especially in rural areas. National assessments indicate that only 50% of fifth-grade students are able to read at a second-grade level, while just 30% of eighth-graders possess the ability to solve basic mathematical problems.
The programme sought to reach 5,000 students across 25 government schools in Thiruvananthapuram and Calicut, with college volunteers as mentors. Each student participated in 30-40 hours of structured learning, supported by a 1:10 mentor-to-student ratio to ensure individualised attention.

Niramay (nee-rah-mah-yah | Meaning: Healthcare)
To enhance healthcare access for both urban and rural communities by providing essential medical services, supporting critical treatments, and fostering innovative solutions for healthcare and disability challenges.
Healthcare is essential to the well-being of individuals and the prosperity of communities. Through our initiatives, we aim to address the most pressing health concerns, ensuring that people, particularly in underserved areas, have access to both affordable and quality healthcare. We focus on both preventive measures and curative treatments. By improving health outcomes through early intervention, awareness, and the provision of critical healthcare services, we contribute to the long-term health and productivity of communities.
Expanding Critical Healthcare Access
In DJ Halli, one of Bengaluru’s most densely populated slums, healthcare remains either inaccessible or unaffordable for many residents. Chronic illnesses and preventable conditions often go untreated due to financial limitations and a lack of awareness.
Bengaluru Baptist Hospital addressed this critical gap through its DJ Halli Health Centre and mobile clinics. It offered free and subsidised medical care to thousands of underserved individuals in FY 2023-24. These services encompassed general consultations as well as specialised treatments, including oncology, dental care, ENT services, and vision care.
One particularly moving example was Meena, a domestic worker who, due to her economic constraints, had ignored ongoing breast pain. When she finally sought treatment at the clinic in early 2024, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. With the hospital’s support, she underwent chemotherapy at a subsidised rate. After just four cycles, the tumour significantly reduced in size, enabling her to regain her health and return to her work.

Paryavaran (puh-ryaa-vuh-run | Meaning: Environment & Sustainability)
To drive sustainability through resource restoration, eco-friendly farming, and innovative conservation technologies.
Sustainability goes beyond being an environmental issue; it is essential for ensuring a future where generations can prosper. Our commitment to protecting the planet is evident through initiatives that focus on conservation, the use of renewable energy, and sustainable agricultural practices. By working to preserve ecosystems and reduce our impact on the environment, we strive to contribute to a healthier, more balanced world for the future.
Transforming Barren Land into Thriving Forests
Launched in 2023, the initiative with 14 Trees is aimed at reversing ecological degradation by planting native species and nurturing self-sustaining forests. The pilot project, situated in Vetale village, Maharashtra, began on arid, gravel-strewn land that lacked water access.
Using only rainwater, without borewells or any form of external irrigation, the initiative successfully nurtured 200+ native tree species. In the FY 2023-24 phase, the project expanded to 10 more acres, planting 697 additional trees. The project has generated employment for over 150
local villagers and supported 80+ families to date. Through sustainable livelihoods, including nursery management, organic farming, and eco-tourism.
Employee Volunteering Initiatives
Tata Elxsi encourages employees to engage in community development through structured volunteer programmes. Participation in projects like Theeram, which includes organising beach clean-ups and supporting local conservation efforts, highlights their commitment to social responsibility. Our Company measures and monitors the impact of these volunteer initiatives, ensuring their continued success and long-term benefit to the community.
