Girnar Foundation, the CSR arm of CarDekho Group, successfully concluded the Second Edition of its flagship “Sow to Grow” initiative, following the resounding success of its first edition last year. This year’s campaign resulted in the development and dispersal of 60,000 seed balls across Jaipur and Gurugram, reinforcing the Foundation’s commitment to sustainability and United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action.
Spanning from July 1 to August 26, 2025, the initiative focused on rejuvenating barren and ecologically significant areas including the Aravali Forest Area (Delhi–Faridabad Road), Jhalana Leopard Safari, Shyampura Kacholiya, and Jagatpura. Seed balls of Peepal, Kadam, Amaltas, and Babool were produced and dispersed to support natural reforestation, soil enrichment, and biodiversity restoration.
The program saw participation from different house of brands of CarDekho Group and nearly 400 external volunteers, along with schools and community organizations. Key collaborations included Udayan Care & Pragya Niketan Knowledge Centre (a CSR education initiative by BOSCH India Foundation, implemented by PURE India Trust) in Jaipur for seed ball production; L.N. School students who participated in seed ball making; Rajasthan Scouts & Guides Training Centre students in Jagatpura who joined seed bombing drives; and Save Aravali Trust volunteers, who along with CarDekho’s internal team, carried out the dispersal in Delhi.
Speaking on the initiative, Pihu Jain, Head of Girnar Foundation, said:
“Sow to Grow is more than an environmental campaign—it is a collective movement of action and hope. Building on the success of our first edition, this year’s efforts reflect our deep commitment to Climate Action and biodiversity restoration. With every seed ball, we are taking a small but powerful step toward CarDekho Group’s vision of carbon neutrality and a sustainable future for all.”
With its second edition, “Sow to Grow” has emerged as a recurring flagship program of Girnar Foundation, continually expanding its reach and impact while nurturing ecosystems and empowering communities to act for the planet.
