Indiana’s diverse and sustained programs in education to provide underprivileged children with learning opportunities through construction of school and supply of education materials such as notebooks and stationeries.

Indiana participates in building a healthy community through continuing initiatives in several areas of healthcare, with a focus on mother and child care.Indiana has conducted “Women Blood Hg test” and counseling on health of women & children by doctors at Jejuri Nagar parishad.

Indiana proudly follows the Swach Bharat Mission and also implements its objectives in daily walks of life. Indiana has built toilets at several places in past few years with an intention of healthy living for the community.

Water scarcity in India is not a new issue but its ignorance has made it one of the most important concerns for us. Indiana has focused on creating awareness about clean water and contributing to the society for water conservation, storage and purification.

A felicitation event took place at the Jejuri Mandir on the 13th of February, 2021 wherein the presence of Mr. Sharad Pawar recognition was given to the efforts of a local company that has been providing essentials to individuals during the entire duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the purpose of introduction, Indiana Group was incorporated in the year 1970. Over the years with sustained and continual efforts, the group has established itself as one of the leading and preferred suppliers to the infrastructure segment, particularly, power plants, petrochemicals, refineries, process plants, steel, and other core sectors.

Today the group is recognized for its high-quality fabricated steel structures namely, electro forged gratings, cable trays and support systems, safety handrails, primary and secondary heavy, medium and light fabricated structures including bridges for railways, metros, and highways.

Indiana is a customer-centric group and has rich experience of serving end clients, leading EPCs, consultants, and contractors worldwide. It has its head office in Mumbai and all of its fabrication plants are in Jejuri (near Pune), where the event was held..

In fact, the group’s first plant was inaugurated by Mr. Sharad Pawar on September 29, 1990. All subsequent plants have also been built in Jejuri. The group acknowledges the support of Jejuri Devsthan, Madam Supriya Suleji, Shri Ajit dada Pawarji, Shri Vijay Shivtareji, the ex MLA, Shri Sanjay Jagtapji, the current MLA, and Dilipdada Barbhai in creating a healthy business environment in Jejuri. In turn, the authorities have always recognized Indiana as a loyal and enthusiastic champion of the community, in addition to bringing world-class facilities and technology to the area.

Indiana Group has always invested in the welfare of the local community by supporting them in various manners, including but not limited to:

1) Providing employment opportunities to local labor and staff from Jejuri and various neighboring areas

2) Providing financial support to schools to improve facilities and infrastructure

3) Carrying out various CSR activities in areas that mostly focus on the welfare of the girl child and women in the domain of health and education

4) Engaging the services of STAPI, an organization that helps the local community in healthcare, developing skill sets and women empowerment

5) Encouraging local youth to turn and hone entrepreneurial skills by helping them start their own fabrication shops as sub-vendors to Indiana

This is due to the support of the late Mr. G.A. Hingorani, the founding Chairman of Indiana, who passed away last year and wanted to ensure that the group pays back to the community that helped it grow and flourish. He believed that Indiana was one big family and that everybody who helped the family grow must also benefit holistically as a community.

The Indiana Group continues to keep his vision in mind and adopted the call of the “my family, my responsibility” campaign of Mr. Uddhav Thackeray, the honorable Chief Minister. In line with these ideals, despite the hardship the group faced during the lockdown, its charitable trust helped the community by providing food, essential items, personal protective equipment, sanitizers, medicines, and other necessities.

Taking a cue from the honorable Prime Minister’s message to corporates, the group did not lay off a single employee or worker and continued to pay salaries and wages to contract workers as well, even when the plants were unable to operate during the lockdown.

The group will strive to continue helping the local community under the guidance of Shri Padma Hingorani, Chairperson, and the leadership of Mr. D. M. Bhatia and Mr. Ashok Malik, both Managing Directors of group companies who have been with the group since 1973 and 1988 respectively.

Today, Mr. Prashant Hingorani, Group CEO was felicitated in the presence of Mr. Sharad Pawar for the help that the group extended to the local community during the pandemic. It is also an occasion to express gratitude to the people of Jejuri and Mr. Sharad Pawar for their support that helped Indiana through the last three decades.

When asked for a quote, Prashant Hingorani simply mentioned, “We take inspiration from the words of Mahatma Gandhi, the founder of our Nation who said ‘The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

On Dated 26th September, as a part of employee engagement initiative, we organised inter unit cricket tournament under the Indiana Premier League Trophy. This event was not just a celebration of sport; it represented the spirit of teamwork, competition, and fellow friendship that drives our industry forward towards the winning spirit. Cricket, often is referred to as a game of gentlemen, always teaches us valuable lessons that extend beyond the pitch. It instils discipline, fosters resilience, and encourages collaboration & teamwork qualities that are essential in our workplace. As we come together to compete, every match played was an opportunity to build relationships, inspire one another, and create lasting memories. From the feedback received from the employees, the tournament has been enjoyed by everybody and felt guilty by those who missed to see the matches played in this tournament.
