At Karanth's Food Pvt. Ltd., our commitment to making a difference goes beyond crafting delicious snacks; it extends to uplifting our society. We take immense pride in our social responsibility initiatives, which have left a positive impact on our neighborhood, particularly by supporting local farmers, empowering local youths, and promoting the welfare of farming women.
Our Social Responsibility Initiatives
Supporting Local Farmers:
At the heart of our business lies a strong connection with local farmers. We believe in the power of partnerships, and our collaboration with local farmers is at the core of our commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing. By sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables locally, we not only ensure the highest quality ingredients for our products but also provide a steady source of income for our local farming partners. This not only contributes to their financial stability but also strengthens the agricultural backbone of our community.
"We procure fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms. Each year, we purchase 20 tons of jackfruit during its season, 2 tons of okra every week, and other vegetables in distinct quantities. We pride ourselves on our close collaboration with local farmers, providing them with guidance and fair prices that exceed market rates, emphasizing the critical role they play as the backbone of our operations. Our commitment to quality is rooted in our strong partnerships with these dedicated farmers," Manush M R, Production Head of Karanth's Food Pvt. Ltd.
Empowering Local Youths:
Youth empowerment is the foundation of our social responsibility efforts. We understand the importance of nurturing the talents and aspirations of our local youths. Through mentorship programs and skill development initiatives, we provide opportunities for young individuals to gain valuable experience and chart their path toward a bright future. By investing in the youth of our society, we aim to build a skilled and vibrant workforce that can contribute not only to our company but also to the community's growth.
"Our company has transformed the lives of local youths by providing them with job opportunities in our village, thus preventing the need for migration to cities. This not only offers economic stability but also enables these youths to stay with their families and support them, making our organization a beacon of change and empowerment in the community," Shreyas YS, HR and Admin of Karanth's Food Pvt. Ltd.
Promoting the Welfare of Farming Women:
We firmly believe that empowering women in agriculture is key to building sustainable communities. Karanth's Food Pvt. Ltd. actively supports local farming women by providing training, resources, and opportunities for them to prosper in their agricultural purposes. By supporting gender equality and empowering women in farming, we aim to create a more honest and successful community for all.
"As a local farming woman employed at Karanth's Food Pvt. Ltd., this company has truly been a game-changer in my life. It has provided me with financial stability, allowing me to ensure my son's education expenses are met. Moreover, my husband, who is a farmer, has also benefited from my employment as it eases our financial responsibilities," Vanaja M, a Production Team member.
"I used to work in areca nut farms, where job opportunities were uncertain, and I often faced times of unemployment. However, since joining this company, I now receive a consistent monthly salary, which has significantly improved my life. This financial stability allows me to take care of my two children. It's not just me; other women in our company also experience these benefits, and we take great pride in being a part of this firm," KC Arathi, Packaging Executive at Karanth's Food Pvt. Ltd.
Team Effort:
It's essential to recognize that these philanthropic efforts are not the work of a single individual but the result of a united team effort. Our dedicated team at Karanth's Food Pvt. Ltd. collaborates closely with local partners, youths, and farming women to bring these initiatives to life. Together, we are committed to creating a brighter and more sustainable future for our community—one step at a time.
