To celebrate this momentous occasion, a number of CSR activities were carried out, such as: B.

MBD Group has distinguished itself as a socially responsible brand that has always believed in creating positive relationships with the world around it.

Additionally, through the AKM Charitable Trust, MBD Group is expanding its support to projects such as Empowering Girl Child with Education, Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan and more.
Malhotra firmly believed in the power and potential of education. He believed that there could be no better catalyst than education to bring about the necessary enlightenment and empowerment in society. This belief had driven him to write and self-publish a book called General Education when he was only thirteen! The making of the book proved to be a life changing event for him and gave a new impetus to his vision and dreams. He has worked really hard and made a name for himself in a variety of fields such as Publishing, Printing, EdTech, Hospitality, Retail, Real Estate, Capacity Building and Design and Construction not only in India but also abroad. However, one thing that set Malhotra apart and earned him a great deal of respect and recognition from everyone he met was his innate desire to give more and share more and create prosperity for all. He has never shied away from helping those in need, whether it be his MBD team or society at large. He always believed that the will to help others is the key to spreading hope and positivity, and where there is positivity, success comes naturally! and that’s why, according to our founder, MBD stands for My Best Deeds alongside Moving Beyond Dreams.
The main goal behind this year’s Founder’s Day celebration was to come together and celebrate our Founder’s vision as one united and happy MBD family.
