Stellar Foundation was set up in 2006, with the primary objective of providing education & training to primary school children. The foundation is Stellar’s first step towards formalizing its philanthropic efforts & providing an umbrella for all social development activates undertaken by Stellar & its employees.
Internal to Stellar
The first step in recognition of Stellar’s social responsibility started in-house in a small way by sponsoring the education and vocational training of employees from an underprivileged background, who otherwise would not have been able to finance the same for themselves. In the last 5 years, the company has sponsored two such individuals by providing them basic skills training and subsequently has provided in house employment along with on the job training. Both employees today have transferable administrative and IT skills. Some of the other initiatives include regular coaching classes by an external faculty for improving the computer literacy and English language of the Blue collared staff at Stellar as well as all domestic help of Stellar employees.

On the larger canvas Stellar has focused its charity efforts to include quick response to natural disasters as well as education of underprivileged children. In fact we were one of the first organizations to respond to the Red Cross, in aid of the Tsunami victims and have been involved with similar causes in the past. On the developmental front, Shailja has been sponsoring the education of a number of children.
