Community and us
Sakaar is the name we ascribe to our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts to help make a difference within the community. The name is derived from the Hindi word ‘Sakaar’, which means ‘to realize, fulfil or achieve’.

Since the launch of Sakaar in 2001, whether it’s promoting various career development programs, running healthcare boot camps, or contributing to donation drives, we ensure that our corporate social responsibility programs add value to the community one step at a time.

Our objective is simple – promoting learning and development, empowering young adults, developing strong leaders, and championing for the advancement of the community through various initiatives and long-term partnerships. We take our company social responsibility seriously and work closely with established social organizations and support new initiatives each year.

Skill Development Workshop with FoC

Anup Shah and Surbhi Desai from Extentia joined hands with the Friends of Children (FoC) under the ‘Unnati Outreach’ banner to conduct a series of mock interview sessions for final year college students. The session included tips on the process of hiring with real-time assessments. As students came from rural areas where such training opportunities are scarce, this program enabled them to get a much-needed insight into the workings of the corporate world and developed their communication and interpersonal skills. They were eager to learn and asked some intelligent questions. Anup Shah said, “Interacting with the young generation and future workforce of India was interesting and challenging at the same time.”
