[Hyderabad, 4th
October] : In a significant
employee-welfare initiative, KEP Engineering has distributed
bicycles to its workforce, many of whom live in nearby small colonies and face
daily challenges with limited transport facilities. This CSR initiative was
launched to ease daily commutes, reduce travel costs, and promote a healthier
and more sustainable lifestyle.
For employees, the
bicycles go beyond being just a commute option. They symbolize freedom,
safety, and independence—especially for women, who now have the confidence
to travel without dependence or fear. Families too have welcomed the
initiative, as the bicycles provide an added advantage of being used for
shopping, market visits, and leisure rides, helping employees balance both
professional and personal responsibilities.
Commenting on the
initiative, Malu Kamble, Managing Director, KEP Engineering, said
– “At KEP, our people are at the heart of every decision. The bicycle
distribution program is not just about mobility; it is about dignity,
convenience, and empowerment. By enabling safer and cost-effective commutes, we
are supporting our team’s well-being while also promoting environmental
responsibility. For our women employees, it creates confidence and
independence; for their families, it brings care and convenience.”
Employees have already
begun experiencing the impact. Raveena from the HR Department
shared – “This cycle gives me the confidence to travel without
depending on anyone. I feel safe, independent, and proud. It has made my
commute simpler and helps me balance my work and personal life better.”
Mangesh, a fitter at
KEP, added – “The cycle is not
just for reaching the office. My family is happy because I can now take them to
the market, carry groceries with ease, and save time for home responsibilities.
It has also encouraged me to cycle in the mornings, which keeps me fit.”
