By: Srinivas Chamarthy – Senior Vice President Engineering, Site lead and Country Head, Diligent India.

“World Environment Day acts as a reminder that protecting the planet is a shared responsibility, giving both individuals and institutions the opportunity to be agents of change. That said, at the heart of everything we do at Diligent India is our commitment towards supporting environmental sustainability and contributing to community welfare.

We believe in encouraging our employees to support the local communities and take small steps towards preserving the environment. Recently, as part of Global Day of Service, we initiated a lake restoration project at Iblur Lake in Bellandur, Bengaluru. Over 180 employees came together to help restore the lake by installing floating gardens – an ecological intervention designed to de-silt the waterbody, improve water quality, and revive biodiversity.

Building on this momentum, and in line with World Environment Day, we are also engaging employees through an awareness session focused on the importance of waste segregation and sustainable practices. As part of this, we’re hosting a hands-on workshop on making planters from discarded plastic bottles—promoting recycling and reusing everyday materials. Through these ongoing efforts, we aim to foster a culture of responsible citizenship and environmental stewardship within our organization.”
