Mumbai, India, 9th June 2025: Convergint, a global leader in service-based systems integration, reaffirmed its commitment to community empowerment by implementing its signature STEP (Secure, Transform, Empower, Partner) Up for Schools initiative at PM SHRI School, Ulwe, Navi Mumbai, today.
Designed to uplift under-resourced educational institutions by enhancing safety and learning environments, the initiative saw 40 Convergint colleagues volunteer their time and expertise to complete key infrastructure and technology upgrades.

PM SHRI School embodies the spirit of holistic and inclusive education, and it’s a privilege for us to support their commitment by helping build a safer and more connected learning environment for both students and educators.”
