The nation is in distress due to the cascading effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and people’s physical and financial health are at high stake. To mitigate the COVID-induced distress, Darwin Platform Group of Companies (DPGC)-a leading Indian Global Business Conglomerate- today announced a slew of employment generation measures to make 4 million (40 Lakh) people financial distress-free with gainful jobs. The country’s biggest employment scheme aims to build a strong nation with employment generation and wealth creation. To begin with, DPGC would take all its 1.25 lakh business associates across India on its payroll with a monthly salary of Rupees 20,000. The Group targets to provide 1.25 lakh employment or income generation opportunities in each state (total 28) and Union Territories such as Delhi and Chandigarh.
The measures announced today are a well-thought progressive approach of the Group’s Chairman Mr Ajay Harinath Singh who is very passionate about nation-building and the ongoing pandemic has only preponed his long term human asset creation scheme. The DPGC has allocated over Rs 7,000 crore to implement the mega employment scheme. The Group has been operating with 24 associate companies and under the employment scheme out of 4 million 30 per cent persons( business associates) will join in Retail, 20 percent in Agri-business, 20 percent in Healthcare & Pharma, 15 percent in Energy and the rest in other Associate Companies.
Announcing the launch of the Mega Employment Scheme Mr Ajay Harinath Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, DPGC said, “A financially sound nation can fight the pandemic effectively. We aim to make more and more people distress-free financially. The Group plans to provide direct employment to 4 million people. We have lakhs of business associates across the country and the Group would now take them on its payroll. We have already onboarded nearly 30,000 associates and a speedy process has been put in place to provide salary-based jobs to 1.25 lakh associates in each state.”
“Given the pandemic situation, we have lessened the workload of our employees. For example, the pressure of sales has been reduced significantly in all our 24 Associate companies. In unit term, a sale executive now handles only two units daily in his five-day week work schedule instead of 14 in the pre-COVID period. However, our dedicated workforce continues to outperform in every area of operation to realise our dream of a stronger and healthy India,” added Mr Ajay Harinath Singh who is a descendent of Lava (The Son of Lord Rama)- Ikshvaku clan. With a glorious lineage, he is passionate about nation-building through strong and innovative models to create employment and wealth. With Wealth Creation for Nation Building as Core Value, the ultimate aim of DPGC’s initiatives and innovations is to boost the economy.
Established in 1996, the DPGC’s net worth today is USD 6.4 billion and with 24 associates companies, it operates in 11 countries. The Group has now entered into several high-growth sectors including Retail with innovative business models. With mantras of Atmanirbhar Bharat-triggered Make in India and Vocal for local, the Group has realized the potential of human capital and is all set to leverage its strength.
