We are doing this as a social cause initiative, guided by the CSR program outlined at Om Logistics.

It surely was a mammoth task but by God's grace, the strong will of our employees and the dedication of the entire team we could achieve it."
Rahul Aggarwal, Founder of Democracy People Foundation said, "Mission Oxygen is a non-for-profit and charitable initiative. We started in late April, self-funded approximately 50 Lacs for this initiative and placed an order for 100 concentrators. Gradually within days, we realised the widespread need for oxygen concentrators as we received more than 3000 requests weekly. We are happy to associate with Om logistics for warehousing and faster delivery at this point of time when the demand for oxygen concentrators have spread across cities, towns and villages.
