At CSC, we believe that strong communities are built when well-being, dignity, and inclusion are prioritized for everyone. While we are a global organization, our impact is deeply local — and initiatives like today’s Walkathon remind us why community engagement matters. Participating in the 19th Bengaluru Walkathon was an honor as I got the opportunity to walk hand in hand with people of various ages and varied abilities. This year’s theme, Health for All, highlights something fundamental — that well-being should not be a privilege, but a right available to people of all ages, genders, and abilities. Their commitment to the holistic development of people with disabilities is exemplary and I look forward to more such opportunities to partner with Samarthanam.

At OpenText, we believe that true progress is driven by inclusive growth and equal access to opportunity for all. As the Title Sponsor of the 19th edition of the Samarthanam Walkathon, we are proud to support an initiative that strongly reflects these values.
The Samarthanam Walkathon brings together people from all walks of life in support of a shared cause, fostering empathy, breaking stereotypes, and encouraging meaningful engagement with individuals with disabilities. More than a symbolic act, the Walkathon serves as a powerful platform to raise awareness, spark dialogue, and reinforce the importance of sustained action in building a truly inclusive society.
OpenText's association with Samarthanam is anchored in long-term impact and extends well beyond the Walkathon. Through initiatives such as higher education programs, the Skill-Ability Initiative, and skilling programs supported by OpenText, we are committed to empowering individuals with disabilities to build capabilities, achieve independence, and lead lives of dignity and purpose. These programs play a vital role in nurturing talent, enabling self-reliance, and creating pathways to sustainable livelihoods. Together, these efforts help cultivate a culture of accessibility and inclusion - one that challenges societal norms and advocates for equal opportunities for all. We are honored to support Samarthanam in its mission and remain committed to driving meaningful impact by enabling people, communities, and organizations to realize their full potential."

At GKN Aerospace, we believe in empowering our communities that we live in through social impact projects.
We are proud to celebrate more than 13 years of partnership with Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled, an organization whose commitment to inclusion, empowerment, and social impact continues to inspire us.
Over the years, our collaboration has supported a wide range of meaningful initiatives, including:
* Walkathon – Promoting awareness and inclusion for people with disabilities.
* Education Projects – Enabling access to learning and development for underserved students.
* Digital Library – Supporting accessible learning resources for the visually impaired.
* Inclusive Education / ID School Initiatives – Strengthening opportunities for children with intellectual disabilities.
* And several other community driven programs that align with our values of responsibility and social impact.
Our long-standing association with Samarthanam reflects our commitment to building an inclusive society and supporting initiatives that create real, positive change. We deeply value this partnership and are proud to continue our collaboration in the years ahead.
Together, we look forward to enabling more progress, more opportunities, and a brighter future for the communities we serve.

At Hiver, our journey began with a simple yet powerful belief: communication and collaboration should feel effortless for teams. Founded in 2011 by Niraj Ranjan Rout and Nitesh Nandy under the company name GrexIT, our early focus was on building tools that helped teams collaborate better through email.
Over time this idea evolved into Hiver; a platform that today enables global brands in managing customer interactions and internal workflows more effectively.
Since the outset, we recognised that traditional email and support systems were often complex and difficult for teams to use. Hiver was built to simplify this experience by turning the familiar Gmail inbox into a collaborative workspace where teams can work with greater clarity and ownership. As the product has evolved, so has our commitment to building technology that is intuitive, human-centric, and designed around real team needs. Today, Hiver is trusted by thousands of teams across industries—not just for the tools we offer, but for the values we bring to how work gets done. Clarity, accountability, and empathy are our core mantras. Our growth has been shaped by listening closely to our customers and continuously learning how technology can better serve people.
Beyond our product, we are committed to contributing positively to the communities around us. We believe access and inclusion are not optional; whether in the workplace or in society at large.
This belief is what draws us to initiatives like the 19th Bengaluru Samarthanam Walkathon, and why we are proud to stand with Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled in advocating the cause of “Health for All.” This marks our third time sponsoring this initiative, and as we step into 2026, we look forward to helping create more inclusive, accessible communities.

We are proud to sponsor 19th Bengaluru Walkathon in support of Health for All, aligned with the Greenlight mission to shine a light on the world of money for families and empower parents to raise financially-smart kids. Just as good health lays the foundation for a better life, financial confidence helps families make informed choices and plan for a stronger future. By supporting this Walkathon, we celebrate a holistic view of well-being—where physical health, financial awareness, and community support come together for all.
