Building Sustainable Communities Through Responsible Business
At Kings Global, doing the right thing isn’t a policy, it’s how we build our businesses. While the mandate to spend on CSR under the Companies Act kicked in only from FY 2022-23 for XDBS, giving back has always been part of how we operate, not just because we have to, but because we believe it.

Our CSR Journey So Far
CSR became mandatory for XDBS starting FY 2022-23 after we crossed the financial thresholds defined under the Companies Act. That year marked the formal beginning of our structured CSR efforts, but not our first acts of giving.
Before that, we stepped up when it mattered, not under CSR, but simply because it was the right thing to do.
- We are title sponsors for the Live Life Love Life Foundation, supporting cancer patients and their families.
- We worked closely with the Live Life Love Life Foundation to direct funds specifically to Vishranti Hospital, stepping in at a time when the hospital was struggling to stay afloat. This wasn’t part of our CSR program then; it was simply a moment where we had the ability to act, and we did.
- Over the years, we’ve quietly supported employees facing unexpected medical emergencies. This was not a part of any formal CSR program, but because people needed help and we were in a position to offer it. It’s not something we publicize, and we don’t always have a process for it, just a willingness to step in when it matters.
Structured CSR - The last three years
Here’s a look at the work we’ve done so far:
We don’t plant trees to tick a sustainability box or for the photo-op.
We do it because we’ve all felt how the air gets worse every year. This is
because our cities are getting hotter, our kids are growing up surrounded
by concrete, and nobody’s going to fix that for us, we have to show up.
Our tree plantation efforts began quietly, a few employees volunteering
time on weekends and sometimes on weekdays during their work hours. A few
hundred saplings planted on pieces of land that barely anyone else cared
about. The survival rate wasn’t perfect. Some trees didn’t make it, but we
kept at it. What matters to us is that we put something in the ground that
wasn’t there before, something that might outlive us and offer shade to
someone else.
These drives are now regular and better supported. We work with local NGOs
who know which species to plant, where they’ll survive, and how to maintain
them. But the heart of it hasn’t changed, we plant because we believe the
future shouldn’t be hotter and harsher than the world we inherited.
You don’t realize how fragile the life is until someone close to you needs blood and the hospital says they’re short. That’s happened to people on our team, to friends, to families. That’s why our blood donation camps exist, not as a corporate wellness activity, but as a response to something very real.
These camps are quiet. No marketing. No stage. Our employees come in, donate, grab a snack, and leave. It’s simple, just humans helping other humans without needing a reason. We’ve had employees roll up their sleeves year after year without anyone asking. Some have been first-time donors; some have been donating for years. No pressure. Just presence.
And when someone in the city ends up receiving a unit from one of these camps, we’ll probably never know who they are. But that’s the point. That’s what makes it worth doing.
There is no good way to hear the word ‘cancer’. No one is ready for it, not the person diagnosed, not their family, not the people who care about them. We’ve seen it up close, colleagues, friends, loved ones. We’ve watched the disease gut people financially long before it kills them. That’s where it started.
Before CSR mandates came in, we were already helping where we could, not because it was required, but because someone had to, and we had the means to step in.
When we heard that Vishranti Hospital, a cancer care centre, was struggling to stay open, we didn’t think about frameworks or publicity. We just asked where the money needed to go, and sent it. We routed it through the Live Life Love Life Foundation, but the message was clear: make sure patients don’t lose treatment because the hospital’s running out of funds.
That wasn’t part of a plan. It wasn’t CSR. It was a hospital full of people who couldn’t afford for us to wait for the right paperwork
Nobody talks enough about what happens at the end. When treatment stops working. When families run out of options. That’s where palliative care comes in, and where we’ve chosen to focus quietly, consistently, without trying to sanitize or glamorize it.
Supporting palliative care means stepping into the most difficult part of someone’s life, and not turning away. Through our collaborations, especially via foundations like Live Life Love Life, we help provide pain management, home care, emotional support, and dignity to patients who are in the final chapters of life.
It’s a heavy work, but it is necessary. It’s not just about the patients, it’s about their families, their caregivers, the emotional load they carry. Our role is to fund, enable, and support people who do this on the ground every day.
We don’t post pictures of this work. There’s nothing glossy about it, but it’s some of the most meaningful support we’ve ever given.
