As we continue on our path to becoming India’s largest small business financing institution, we also want to focus on the well-being of our team. The UGRO 10K Celebration Run is our way of reinforcing the importance of a healthy work-life balance and encouraging our employees to prioritize their health as we set our sights on the next milestone.”
