Himalaya’s COVID-19 Relief Initiatives

As a part of our commitment to society, Himalaya reached out to various communities and distributed essentials under the “Himalaya Cares” initiative during the pandemic. We distributed health and hygiene products to over one million people across India.

Additionally, Himalaya designed communication materials such as posters and videos to create awareness about the precautions required during COVID-19 across several touchpoints such as doctors’ clinics, chemists, and online platforms.
