Comment from Mr Rajesh Uppal, Member Executive Board (HR, IT and Safety), Maruti Suzuki India Ltd
We are passing through an unprecedented global health crisis. Employees’ safety is our top priority and we have developed the Wellness Mitra application that complements the Aarogya Setu App. The Aarogya Setu app helps in contact tracing and sends alert about COVID-19 positive cases in the vicinity. With the use of technology, we are monitoring health of all our employees on a real time basis. The Wellness Mitra App has been developed in-house and it helps maintain the health log sheet of employees across all our locations in the country. It not just helps us to monitor well-being of employees but they can also seek help in case of any emergency through the App. The Covid-19 Task Force at Maruti Suzuki ensures that all health and safety advisories are followed by employees.
