K Raheja Corp Employees Craft Braille Learning Cards To Empower Visually Impaired
K Raheja Corp has taken a meaningful step toward inclusion and accessibility through its latest ‘Time Off for Volunteering’ initiative, Tactile Braille Card Making for the Visually Impaired. The event brought together employees from Mindspace Business Parks REIT, K Raheja Corp Homes, Inorbit Mall, and Chalet Hotels Ltd, fostering empathy-driven teamwork and reinforcing the group’s people-first culture.
The volunteering workshop encouraged employees to explore creativity through tactile design, using threads, textures, toothpicks, and everyday materials to craft Braille learning cards depicting animals, fruits, and objects — educational aids that help visually impaired children learn through touch.
Adding a deeply personal touch, visually impaired participants joined the session to “test” the cards’ accuracy, offering real-time feedback and sharing their experiences. One participant, Ajay, remarked, “Braille is our language of independence. Seeing corporate employees create tools that help us learn and connect is truly heartwarming. It felt like sharing our world with theirs.”
The session turned even more memorable when one of the participants played music, turning the workshop into a shared celebration of inclusion and understanding.
Urvi Aradhya, CHRO, K Raheja Corp, said, “At K Raheja Corp, empathy and participation form the foundation of our culture. This initiative is a beautiful reminder that when creativity meets compassion, real impact follows. Our people came together not just to volunteer, but to connect with purpose.”
Gargi Modi, COO of ConnectFor, the NGO partner, added by saying: “K Raheja Corp’s employees went beyond volunteering; they built empathy and created something genuinely useful. It’s inspiring to see corporate volunteering that translates into real change.”
The Braille cards created during the workshop were donated to an NGO supporting visually impaired youth.
Through its ‘Time Off for Volunteering’ policy, K Raheja Corp empowers employees to take paid time off for social causes they care about. Previous initiatives have seen teams painting schools, assembling wheelchairs, cleaning coastlines, and designing adaptive tools — each effort deepening the company’s culture of compassion and collective impact.
With this initiative, K Raheja Corp continues to exemplify how corporate volunteering can move beyond checklists — to create connection, inclusion, and purpose-driven change.
