The Zero Emission Drive was one such, aimed to create awareness on the efforts. From driving a convoy of high-tech automobiles with no tailpipe emissions, to planting more trees with our partner who is a leading infrastructure company, the message was loud and clear that we all need to do our bit for a cleaner world and inspire others to follow. My special thanks to all the car brands who volunteered with their machines and an enthusiastic bunch of people who drove responsibly.”
