Intrepid Travel Celebrates First-Ever ‘Intrepid Day’ in India with Purpose and People at its Core

Intrepid Travel India marked the first-ever Intrepid Day with a series of meaningful community-driven initiatives that placed people, purpose, and the planet at the heart of the celebration. The day-long event reflected Intrepid’s commitment to making travel impactful, responsible, and deeply connected to local communities.

Celebrated on 24th July, Intrepid Day is designed to symbolise the company’s global reach across every time zone 24/7. It brought together staff, partners, and travellers across 31 country offices, with flagship activities taking place in New Delhi, London, Toronto, and Melbourne. Going forward, the event will become an annual celebration of conscious travel and local impact.

In India, the celebrations began with a heartfelt visit to Arya Mahila Ashram, an old-age home in Delhi. Intrepid staff and tour leaders spent time with elderly women, sharing stories and companionship offering warmth and dignity to those who often feel isolated.

The energy picked up with the Intrepid Amazing Race, a lively city challenge across Delhi. Five teams raced through historic and cultural spots, solving clues and completing fun mini-tasks showcasing the joy of discovery and teamwork, all while soaking in the spirit of the capital.

True to its eco-conscious mission, the “One Trip One Tree” (1T1T) initiative took place across six destinations including Pushkar, Ranthambore, Varanasi, Lotwara, Chitwan, and Kathmandu. A total of 10 native trees were planted to support biodiversity, improve local ecosystems, and offset carbon footprints. In parallel, reusable glass bottles were given to hotel partners, a step toward reducing single-use plastic across accommodations.

One of the most impactful moments of the day was a fundraising effort for marine conservation. The India team raised over AUD 5,400, surpassing its initial goal of AUD 1,800 for Positive Change for Marine Life, a partner of The Intrepid Foundation. With Intrepid tripling all contributions, the final donation will significantly support marine conservation efforts in Kovalam, Kerala.

Globally, the day also saw The Intrepid Foundation triple all donations received across its 50+ global partners. Travellers who booked through Urban Adventures also enjoyed free tours for travel until the end of December 2025.

The first Intrepid Day successfully celebrated travel that goes beyond the itinerary bringing together a community of conscious explorers and changemakers united by a mission to create meaningful impact.

McDonald’s, the American quick-service restaurant (QSR) giant, has announced plans to invest $100 million (around ₹875 crore) in its new global office in Hyderabad over the next two years. The office will serve as a major hub for the company’s global operations and technological innovations.

Deshant Kaila, Head of Global Business Services (GBS) Operations at McDonald’s, stated that the Hyderabad centre will focus on various corporate functions, including global finance, people services, and the development of the company’s enterprise platform and global technology infrastructure. “We just started three months ago with 100 people. By the end of this year, we plan to grow to 500, and our goal is to expand to around 2,000 employees by early 2027,” Kaila shared.

The facility is already working on key projects using emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics to enhance customer personalisation and loyalty. “Today, a McDonald’s app in India doesn’t work in other countries. We aim to develop a unified global app, which will require deep work on enterprise platforms and data systems,” Kaila added.

Dr. Durga Prakash, Head of Technology (Global Offices), McDonald’s, revealed that the global tech teams are driving an edge AI transformation. This innovation, already implemented in 400 restaurants, uses vision cameras and AI algorithms to ensure order accuracy and efficiency. “This is part of our strategy to connect 40,000 restaurants globally,” he said, also highlighting work on internet-connected kitchens.

The new office in Hyderabad will also build capabilities in cybersecurity, enterprise data architecture, data engineering, governance, and AI insights. With this strategic investment, McDonald’s reinforces its commitment to innovation, efficiency, and personalised customer experience on a global scale.
