We are doing this as a social cause initiative, guided by the CSR program outlined at Om Logistics.

It surely was a mammoth task but by God’s grace, the strong will of our employees and the dedication of the entire team we could achieve it.”
Mr. Rahul Aggarwal, Founder of Democracy People Foundation said, “Mission Oxygen is a non-for-profit and charitable initiative. We started in late April, self-funded approximately 50 Lacs for this initiative and placed an order for 100 concentrators. Gradually within days, we realised the widespread need for oxygen concentrators as we received more than 3000 requests weekly. We are happy to associate with Om logistics for warehousing and faster delivery at this point of time when the demand for oxygen concentrators have spread across cities, towns and villages. We thank them for their support in making Mission Oxygen more impactful to save lives.”

Mr. Bansal added, “Our entire force of front liners and the extended teams, have successfully transported 5000 oxygen concentrators. We assure to deliver the next consignment of OCs soon. The team has been working tirelessly throughout the night at the airports so that the OCs can be delivered to the most remote hospitals, outside Delhi and across the country. We hope and pray that with optimism and each other’s unconditional support, India will overcome this challenge soon.”
