Under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, Prashant Ruia, Director, Essar, took a pledge and made a promise to participate in nation-building and lead the movement for Clean and Green India with a renewed vision and renewed vigour.
Speaking during the company’s celebration of India’s 75 years of Independence, Prashant Ruia said, “We pledge to rededicate ourselves with a new vision and renewed vigour, using our 50 years of experience and entrepreneurship to participate in nation building and leading the movement for Clean India, Green India; that is our Dream India. We promise to create sustainability-based businesses, build future-centric assets and ethical companies which will generate value for all stakeholders for the next 75 years.”
Through his strong address, Ruia highlighted the rich history of the group, which has worked tirelessly in line with the national need by setting up the first private power plant in India, launching the first mobile telecom service, owning the first private oil tanker and building one of India’s largest integrated steel and refinery complex.
Ruia concluded his message by saying, “Let us resolve to invest 1 per cent of the total capital expenditure of the country as we have done earlier. As we achieve, we grow. It is now time to gain greater global presence, both as India and as Essar”.
