There are other corporates who are like big ponds, depending on rainfall from the sky to distribute goodness to nearby communities. But it is that specific corporate, like India Piston, which is like an eternally flowing river watering the banks on both sides and nurturing goodness and greenery, which takes care of its official obligations and also give back to society much more than what it has benefited from it.”
