The Marriott India Business Council proudly celebrated the 11th edition of its flagship philanthropic initiative, “Road to Give”, bringing together associates, partners, and communities across India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka. Hosted at JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru, with participation from Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel, this year’s event united thousands in movement, compassion, and social impact.

What started over a decade ago as a small associate-led effort has grown into a regional celebration of purpose. This year, over 10,000 associates ran, walked, cycled, and moved for a cause, reflecting Marriott’s values of empathy, inclusion, and service.

The campaign successfully raised over INR 1 crore, which will support Rising Star Outreach of India, a Chennai-based NGO that aids individuals and families affected by leprosy through education, healthcare, and vocational training.

Reinforcing the “Putting People First” philosophy, Marriott associates organized wellness events, charity runs, and volunteer activities, combining physical well-being with the joy of giving back.

“Each year, Road to Give reminds us of the extraordinary power of collective purpose,” said Sanjay Gupta, Chairman, Marriott India Business Council. “As we celebrate the 11th year, we honour not just the funds raised or miles covered, but the unity and compassion our associates bring to their communities. Their efforts strengthen Marriott’s legacy of care across the region.”

Over the years, Road to Give has become a cornerstone of Marriott’s culture of giving, encouraging associates to be agents of change and advocates for wellness, inclusion, and empathy. Each edition underscores the belief that true success lies in uplifting others and contributing to lasting social progress.

Looking ahead, Marriott India extends heartfelt thanks to all participants, partners, and supporters. Every step taken and every rupee contributed moves us closer to a more compassionate, inclusive future—one where the spirit of giving continues to inspire and unite.
