A one of its kind DEI (Diversity, Equality & Inclusion) Partnership was signed between Foundation to Summit and Vedic Village Spa Resort, Rajarhat New Town Kolkata.

This collaboration marks a shared commitment to creating more inclusive workplaces and meaningful opportunities for persons with disabilities through awareness, engagement and impactful programmes.

The partnership was formalised in the presence of Rajib Roy Choudhury, Associate Vice President, Vedic Village Spa Resort, along with the Resort’s HR and Learning & Development team and Mousumi Kar, Director – Programmes, Foundation to Summit, and Amit Sengupta, Trustee & President, Foundation to Summit.

Rajib Roy Choudhury, AVP, Vedic Village Resort said: “At Vedic Village Spa Resort, our Biophilic Hub and Spoke Sustainability Model places people at the heart of ESG. This partnership with Foundation to Summit reflects our belief that inclusion is fundamental to sustainable growth. By creating opportunities for persons with disabilities, we are advancing the spirit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and reaffirming that an inclusive workplace is not just good business – it is the hallmark of responsible hospitality and a truly sustainable future.”

Rajib added: “Our partnership with Foundation to Summit reflects this philosophy. As an AQI Green Resort, we believe that just as biodiversity enriches nature, human diversity enriches organizations. Inclusion is not an initiative, it is a cornerstone of resilient, responsible and future ready hospitality. Together with Foundation to Summit, we aspire to build workplaces where every individual is valued, empowered and given the opportunity to thrive.”

Mousumi Kar, Director, Programmes, Foundation to Summit said: “We have a vision of empowering persons with disabilities with education, skilling and sports. We look forward to working with corporate players, entrepreneurs towards inclusive workplaces and skilling and employability of persons with disabilities. This DEI partnership with Vedic Village Spa Resort is a significant step towards fulfilling this vision. I am thankful to the entire Vedic team and happy that we have aligned on the shared vision of DEI and having an inclusive society.”
