Over the past two years, Stanley Lifestyles, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Bangalore, has invested approximately ₹1.35 crore towards the comprehensive development of the school’s infrastructure. These efforts have included the enhancement of classrooms, sanitation facilities, drinking water systems, play areas and administrative infrastructure, creating a more conducive environment for learning and holistic development.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. Venkataramana Gotri, Managing Director, Stanley Lifestyles Limited, said, ” At Stanley Lifestyles, we believe education is one of the most powerful investments we can make in the future. This belief has guided our partnership with the Rotary Club of Bangalore and inspired initiatives that create meaningful opportunities for young learners. The Prerana Auditorium is more than just a physical space—it is a platform where students can express themselves, build confidence, discover their talents and create lasting memories. We are grateful to the Rotary Club of Bangalore, the school management, teachers and all those who helped bring this vision to life”

The inauguration ceremony was attended by representatives from Stanley Lifestyles, Rotary Club of Bangalore, school management, teachers, students and community leaders. The newly established auditorium is envisioned as a dynamic space that will nurture creativity, confidence, learning and personal growth among students.

Through initiatives such as these, Stanley Lifestyles continues to support inclusive community development and strengthen educational infrastructure, helping create opportunities for future generations.

As part of its CSR efforts, IIFL Home Finance collaborates with Salaam Baalak Trust to strengthen its flagship School on Wheels programme in Delhi. The company formally handed over a fully equipped mobile education bus at Salaam Baalak Trust’s Tis Hazari Centre. The new bus will serve children across underserved communities within East Delhi, bringing education, digital learning, and developmental opportunities directly to their doorsteps.

The AC bus features digital learning facilities, internet connectivity, creating a more conducive and engaging learning environment for children. The initiative is expected to directly benefit more than 600 children and their families through improved educational access and community outreach.

Building on its commitment to inclusive development, IIFL Home Finance also partnered with Swayam Siddha Industrial Co-operative Society for the Handicapped Ltd. to improve mobility and accessibility for persons with disabilities in Mumbai. The company facilitated the launch of a wheelchair-accessible Tata Magic vehicle along with two EV scooters at Swayam Siddha’s Rabale Centre in Navi Mumbai.

The vehicles have been provided to support beneficiaries in accessing skill development centers, employment opportunities, and essential services. The initiative forms part of a broader effort to strengthen infrastructure and create more inclusive environments for persons with disabilities.

Speaking on the initiatives, Mrs. Aarti Marwaha Upadhyay, Chief Human Resource Officer, IIFL Home Finance, said, “Inclusion is not a programme for us, it is a conviction. When a child in East Delhi steps onto a mobile classroom, or a person with disability in Mumbai can independently access a skill centre or a job, something fundamental changes in their world. Our partnerships with Salaam Baalak Trust and Swayam Siddha are rooted in that belief that finance can be a force for equity, and that the communities we serve deserve more than access to housing alone.”

These initiatives collectively demonstrate IIFL Home Finance’s focus on empowering vulnerable sections of society through targeted interventions in education, accessibility, skill development, and community welfare. By partnering with credible grassroots organizations, the company continues to create sustainable impact and contribute towards inclusive social development.
