A CSR collaboration has helped in providing critical medical care to 20 infants from poor families asAI-native automotive platform company Tekion partnered with the NGO Neonates Foundation of India to support the treatment of such critically ill newborns from poor families in five States.
The collaboration funded over 700 cumulative days of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) support, offering a lifeline to several families from underserved economic backgrounds in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh.
The initiative focused on the most vulnerable demographics: families earning less than ₹15,000 per month for whom private NICU care is financially out of reach, according to a release.
Babies suffering from extreme prematurity (born under 30 weeks), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and Neonatal Sepsis received NICU support as part of this initiative.
“Without immediate NICU intervention, survival rates for these conditions are critically low. The funding covered surfactant life-saving medication for newborns with underdeveloped lungs, oxygen therapy, cardiac monitoring, and specialised nutritional care for low-birth-weight babies,” said Tanya Bali, Co-Founder and Chief Catalyst, Neonates Foundation of India.
This partnership highlights the power of corporate social responsibility in addressing healthcare equity. “At Tekion, we believe technology serves a greater purpose when it enables positive human impact,” said Aravind Gowda, Senior Director, Tekion.

The Italy-based MIR Group is planning to invest about € 20 million in Mangaluru to set up its manufacturing unit for the production of energy-efficient building materials such as Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) panels, thermal insulation materials and sodium-ion batteries, according to Sai Chandu, Sustainability Head, MIR Group.
