The initiative draws its inspiration from IHCL‘s foundational principles and the insightful words of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the visionary Founder of the Tata Group, who emphasized that “In a free enterprise, the community is not just another stakeholder in business, but is in fact the very purpose of its existence.” With this ethos guiding its path, Taj Mahal, New Delhi, is dedicated to forging significant pathways for the visually impaired community. This endeavor seamlessly aligns with Paathya, IHCL’s framework for sustainability and social impact, reinforcing its commitment to creating positive change.
Paathya, originating from the Sanskrit concept of charting a path, embodies IHCL’s commitment to driving positive transformation through its fundamental principles: Trust among all stakeholders, Consciousness of our ecosystem’s needs, and Inner Joy. Building upon its rich legacy spanning over a century, Paathya sets forth a trajectory centered on Environmental Stewardship, Social Responsibility, Governance Excellence, Heritage Preservation, Value Chain Enhancement, and Sustainable Development.
