BENGALURU: To empower women who have endured severe abuse, or abandonment, or are widowed, and those who are struggling to provide necessities for their children, multinational company Herbalife, in partnership with Shishu Mandir, distributed 50 e-autos as part of ‘Eco-Wheels Women’s Initiative’.
As part of its corporate social responsibility initiative, the company will provide 115 e-autos to as many women, which will benefit over 750 individuals, a release said. Herbalife India Managing Director Ajay Khanna presented 50 e-autos to women at an event here on Sunday.
