EBG Group has launched Naari Shakti, a national women empowerment programme aimed at supporting 1,00,000 women across India in its first phase. The initiative was unveiled in Hyderabad by Padma Shri PV Sindhu, who also launched the Suraksha Line, a 24/7 SOS helpline for women (7777777963).
The EBG Foundation, the Group’s philanthropic arm, has committed USD 1 million for FY 2025–26 to drive the programme without raising public donations.
A Mission to Deliver Real Empowerment
Dr. Irfan Khan, Chairman & Founder, EBG Group, said the initiative was built to address real issues faced by women across the country.
“Naari Shakti was created to change reality through action, not charity. Women power more than 60% of EBG’s workforce. We now want to extend that impact nationwide by enabling dignity, safety, income, health and education,” he said.
