What started as a vision in 2022 has developed into a grassroots movement aimed at providing marginalised populations with worthwhile opportunities. Datamatics’ early support and continued partnership have played an important role in helping MRF expand its programmes and reach.

Expressing her gratitude, Roshani Shenazz Nadirshah, Founder and CEO, Meher Roshani Foundation, said, “I am deeply grateful to the leadership team at Datamatics, especially the Chairman Late Mr. Y. S. Kanodia, along with CHRO Ms. Loly Vadassery, and CSR Head Mr. Anuj S. Jaisinghani for believing in our vision at an early stage. Their support laid the foundation for this enduring collaboration. Datamatics is a people-focused company that firmly believes in purpose and compassion. When corporates invest in skill development, they help build stronger communities and create opportunities for individuals to lead more independent and dignified lives.”
