VTP Realty Celebrates Raksha Bandhan with Employees, Strengthening Bonds Beyond Family

An initiative to ensure employees without siblings can experience the warmth and spirit of Raksha Bandhan with their workplace family.

Pune, August 27, 2026: VTP Realty celebrated Raksha Bandhan with more than 350 employees as part of its continued effort to foster a culture of belonging, camaraderie and meaningful relationships within the workplace. In its second year, the initiative was organised especially for employees who may not have siblings with whom to celebrate the festival, giving colleagues an opportunity to come together and create bonds that extend beyond the office.

The celebration was graced by Chairman of VTP Group, Mr Vilaskumar Thanmal Palresha, along with the company’s senior leadership and HR team. Bringing together the identified employees, the celebration created a warm and personal space where women employees tied rakhis to their male colleagues, while everyone came together to experience the spirit of care, respect and togetherness associated with the festival.

Speaking on the occasion, Harsha Palande, Group Head of HR, VTP Group, said: “Raksha Bandhan is about the warmth of having someone to celebrate with, and sometimes, it is the people around us who make that feeling possible. We wanted our colleagues who do not have siblings to experience that warmth here at work. Seeing them celebrate Raksha Bandhan made this initiative very special for all of us.”

For some employees, the occasion carried a deeper emotional significance, especially for those who had never had the opportunity to experience Raksha Bandhan with a sibling. What may have seemed like a simple workplace gesture became, for them, an opportunity to experience a tradition they had never been able to celebrate before. The emotions shared during the celebration reflected how meaningful a sense of belonging can be when people come together to create moments that extend beyond their everyday professional relationships

The programme commenced with a special interaction with Sadhvi Ishdarshana, who joined the celebrations virtually and addressed the employees with an inspiring message, appreciating their contribution and encouraging them to nurture bonds of mutual respect and support. The celebrations were followed by the traditional Raksha Bandhan ceremony, where employees exchanged heartfelt wishes and tied rakhis.

A male employee of VTP Realty, said, “I have never really experienced Raksha Bandhan this way before, so being part of this celebration was quite emotional for me. What made it special was that it did not feel like just an event. There was genuine warmth among everyone, and it felt good to have someone tie a rakhi and share that moment with me.”

Through this initiative, VTP Realty continues to emphasise that employee engagement goes beyond professional milestones, creating opportunities for its people to build lasting connections, celebrate traditions and experience a stronger sense of community at the workplace.
