IndiGoReach, our CSR division, is designed to facilitate transformations that empower individuals to positively shape lives. We recognise the wide range of issues that affect our society - from education to empowerment and social aid - where we strive to address them head-on by partnering with our employees, customers, suppliers and other like-minded organisations. IndiGoReach is about reaching out to people; not only with our planes, but also with our hearts.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes focus on four key areas.

Children and education

At IndiGo, we believe quality education for all children underpins a nation’s long-term development and growth. Our developmental programmes look at broadening access to learning opportunities so that no child is left behind, infrastructure development to improve student experiences, and skill-building to enhance the employability of youngsters from underserved communities.

Our initiatives revolve around two core pillars: Access to Education and Nurturing Excellence - primarily focusing on rural India, where the need for educational support is particularly pronounced, and children dwelling in urban slums. We also support the upskilling of teaching faculty and administrators from identified government schools to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

We have adopted 75 government schools across Indore (Madhya Pradesh), Dehradun (Uttarakhand), Vadodara (Gujarat), Dibrugarh (Assam), and Noida/Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh). Our education programmes currently benefit over 45,100 children across the country.

Women empowerment

Creating equal opportunities and fostering gender equality are core to our organisation and community development goals. IndiGo Shakti is a programme designed to broaden livelihood opportunities for women, enabling them to build fulfilling, happy, and healthy lives for themselves and their families.

Our programmes on Women Empowerment focus on enhancing access to education, vocational training and livelihood opportunities for women, enabling them to become self-reliant, confident and active participants in the socio-economic development of their communities. Interventions are undertaken to train and build the capacity of rural women, equipping them with the necessary skills to undertake various on- and off-farm income-generating activities. We also help organise women into Self Help Groups (SHGs) and Producer Groups (PGs) for collectivisation.

Our training, support, and access to government schemes have helped over 53,000 women increase their income by 20% - 25%, compared to baseline levels.
