About Quick Heal CSR
Each step we take at Quick Heal is one towards securing individuals, communities and society at large. Our initiatives in corporate social responsibility are building a strong foundation for collective progress. They actively involve the beneficiaries, who are encouraged to pass on their acquired advantages to others within their communities.
Several current hurdles to development have been identified by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Through efforts aimed at eradicating extreme hunger & poverty, promotion of education, and employment enhancement, vocational training & cybersecurity awareness, we seek to provide innovative and technology-based solutions to these global hurdles. Implemented by the Quick Heal Foundation, each of these initiatives go on to help ensure a future with a promise of success and security for all.

Message from the Chairperson
Quick Heal’s journey has been a long and rewarding one. We have been blessed to witness its course with people possessing ingenious minds and big hearts. With our success, came the opportunity to make a difference. As we envisioned our path to further critical progress, we realized our own position at the threshold of change. This home-grown organization has already simplified security for millions. It was the time to do more for the community in which we operate. This led to the birth of Quick Heal Foundation. Our CSR mission ‘Securing Futures’ is forward-looking, sustainable and driven by what we do best: innovate. We seek to usher a better tomorrow for communities from within, by empowering change-makers. The impact our corporate social responsibility initiatives have had, are a great source of inspiration for us. Behind each number is a person whose life we touched – a fact that motivated us through this transition.
