Social Capital

Empowering our Communities

Whilst having a sustainable and strong global presence is imperative to our business, we firmly believe that as one of the privileged few who have the fundamentals to shape a better future for our society, it is our responsibility to make the world a happier and healthier place.

Since inception, our approach has been to engage in selfless service and drive our company with a true sense of purpose. Our CSR vision is to support Indian villages to not only prosper but establish themselves as self-sustaining livelihood clusters, whose models can be replicated in other rural and underdeveloped areas for their upliftment. We work closely with district and state-level officials to expand understanding and support for our initiatives.

Supporting a better quality of life for our communities

The Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation (LHWRF), the CSR entity of Lupin Limited, was founded in 1988 in Bharatpur, Rajasthan to engage with local communities to address their concerns and identify synergistic opportunities for livelihood creation.

LHWRF has a presence in 5,431 villages located in 88 blocks of 23 districts spread across 9 states in India. The Foundation operates through 20 local centers and actively works towards fostering an economic ecosystem that enables the upliftment of the underprivileged.

Over the years, LHWRFâ€™s work has been centered around social development models, which focus on four key pillars:

Economic
Development

Social

Infrastructure

Natural Resource
Management

Focusing on the four key pillars has enabled us to create inclusive and scalable development by driving initiatives to support the well-being of our communities. The impact that we have created over the last year has been summarized below:

Tech Driven Offerings

â€˜ANYA,â€™ meaning limitless in Sanskrit, is Indiaâ€™s first, medically verified and multi-lingual health chatbot that answers queries related to the management of health. Powered by AI and Machine Learning, we launched this powerful chatbot in 2018. Anya can respond to queries related to Diabetes, Tuberculosis, Respiratory Ailments, Hypertension and Heart Failure in 5 regional languages. Apart from answering queries on diseases, ANYA also has a repository of healthy recipes and a special calorie count mechanism, where users can monitor their calories. More than 250,000 unique users have asked more than 2.45 million queries to Anya to date.

Healthcare professionals, especially doctors in India, are often at the receiving end of unfair litigation. â€˜LegalRxâ€™ is a mobile application designed by Lupin to provide free of cost medico-legal advice and counsel to doctors in addition to educating them on the legal aspects associated with their medical practice. The app is intended to simplify the medicolegal parlance for doctors and provide them with relevant information through FAQs on laws and acts governing the medical practice.

Healing our Communities

At Lupin, our aim is to provide affordable and accessible healthcare. However, increasing awareness of management of healthcare and the importance of well-being is also a priority for us. We encourage our leadership and employees across our facilities to drive and participate in initiatives, which are aimed at spreading cognizance to enhance the quality of life.

Every Heart is a Star

To increase awareness and emphasize the importance of â€˜Cardiopulmonary Resuscitationâ€™ (CPR) to prevent premature death due to a sudden cardiac arrest, we provided capacity building and training to over 5,000 people. This was reinforced through digital and print media.

Say Yes to Life

The objective of this campaign is to spread awareness about mental health concerns and accepting the same in a healthy manner, leading to timely treatment of illness such as depression. This was done through disseminating video and audio messages, workshops and social media campaigns. Over the last 5 years, we have reached 1 million people through this initiative.

Ease the Pause

We have launched a special initiative to create nationwide awareness on menopause by launching Indiaâ€™s first ever dedicated website (www.easethepause.com) for women transitioning through menopause. Our objective is to create a platform where we can resolve queries of patients and bust the myths associated with menopause and its management. Additionally, we have developed a Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), a calculator which can help women understand the appropriate time to visit a gynaecologist.

Run for the Brain

We have collaborated with the Indian Academy of Neurology and organized an annual 5 km marathon to generate awareness on Epilepsy. Every year, we have over 500 neurologists who participate in this marathon.

Heal-Thy Lungs Camps

HUMRAHI has engaged 4,000+ HCPs and touched lives of more than 150,000 patients across 20 cities in India. The Patient Education program offers services such as diet counselling, insulin pen education, insulin storage tips and educates on the benefits of regular exercise.
