Cleaner Hills, Happy Pune: RIA Makes a Difference
Pune, Maharashtra, India
Recognize, Innovate, and Accelerate – that is the ultimate motto of RIA Advisory LLP, a Pune-based Business and Technology Advisory Consulting firm. Last Tuesday, RIA traded in their briefcases for garbage bags and headlamps for a different kind of acceleration – a climb up the scenic slopes of Hanuman Tekdi alongside Youth Talent Development Society (YTDS NGO).
This wasn’t your typical team-building exercise. RIA, known for their sharp minds and strategic solutions, joined forces with YTDS, a successful non-profit organisation that has championed the Four E’s – Environment, Education, Employment, and Empowerment – focused on the “E for Environment” for a unique initiative: the Hill Cleaning Activity.
With the rising sun casting a warm glow over the famous Hanuman Tekdi, the enthusiastic team at RIA assembled at the base of the Tekdi and divided into mighty teams, armed with the ultimate weapons against waste – hefty garbage bags and a healthy dose of environmental spirit.
Gloves, face masks, and a shared determination to make a difference were the order of the day. The initial assessment was clear – Hanuman Tekdi, despite its natural beauty, had become a silent victim of littering. Undeterred, team RIA rolled up their sleeves, their competitive spirit igniting as they raced (in a friendly way, of course!) to fill their designated bags with plastic bottles, food wrappers, and other discarded items.
“It was truly heartening to see the dedication of the Team RIA,” said Mr. Ameet Bhinganiya, Founder and President of YTDS. “This was the first time we conducted a Hill Cleaning Activity, and the enthusiasm from RIA was truly infectious.”
As the hours progressed, the teams transformed into a mighty garbage-collecting force. Bag after bag was filled, and the once-polluted landscape began to show signs of beauty and rejuvenation. The collective effort not only cleaned the hill but also fostered a sense of camaraderie between the two organizations.
But the real win goes beyond the collected waste. This collaborative clean-up served as a powerful reminder: protecting our environment requires all hands on deck. From financial advisors to social workers, every individual can play a part in nurturing the natural world.
This initiative perfectly exemplifies the synergy between RIA and YTDS. While RIA brings their expertise in strategy and innovation, YTDS provides the local knowledge and dedication to community improvement. Together, they demonstrate how seemingly different organizations can come together for a common cause – a cleaner, greener future for Pune.
“It is deeply satisfying that our young and bright engineers at RIA are so passionate about their social responsibilities,” said Mr. Sameer Deo, Head of India Operations, RIA Advisory. “via its RIA-Cares initiatives, RIA takes pride in being socially responsible and contributing directly to worthy causes RIA takes”
RIA and YTDS hope to inspire others to take action, be it organizing a clean-up drive in your own neighborhood, switching to reusable bags, or simply disposing of waste responsibly. Every small step counts when it comes to protecting our environment.
In conclusion, this was not just a cleaning drive; it was a statement – a statement of intent, a statement of unity, and a statement of hope for a cleaner and more sustainable future. Remember – a little initiative can go a long way in preserving the beauty of our natural spaces.
