From revolutionising the watch industry 30+ years ago, Titan Company has evolved into a true colossus with market-leading brands across categories - accessories, jewellery, eyewear, and clothing.

In 2020, the world witnessed a metamorphosis at a scale that no one expected. We have seen how robustly businesses can adapt and how resourceful and supportive people can be. The pandemic has reinforced our desire to help drive positive change in the communities. The pandemic also gave us a strong sense that everyone around the world “is in this together”. The world is filled with opportunities to support our communities, remote or otherwise. In this panel on Impact From Anywhere, we explore stories of amazing trailblazers who have found new ways to make a difference. In this session, we deep-dive into three different perspectives on how Corporates, Non-Profits, and students have adopted the new form of giving and learning. Join us to hear from experts on Impact FromAnywhere in the post-pandemic world.
