About Us

V-Mart Foundation

We respect and value the ecosystem we live and operate in. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is something which V-Mart has adopted since its inception. As our business continues to grow, so does our responsibility to serve not just our customers, but the society at large.

Over the years we have launched and been operating several CSR initiatives. The intention has been to give back to the society by serving the underprivileged, especially our children, who are the future of our nation. As we continue to evolve our CSR activities, we have launched the V-Mart Foundation, the philanthropic wing of V-Mart Retail Ltd., which would offer a dedicated platform to further this noble cause. The prime aim of V-Mart Foundation is to uplift the underprivileged and specially-abled people in rural and tier 2/3/4 regions by supporting them in the realms of education, skill development, sports, employment etc.
