Mumbai: Mahindra Special Services Group (division of Mahindra Defence Ltd) has won prestigious Mega Corporate Film Festival and Awards 2016 under 
the category of Diversity and Inclusion.
In August 2015 Mahindra SSG joined hands with CII to conduct women safety workshop for women across south India. While travelling across the southern region .Team headed by Manish Advani Head Marketing & PR felt there is a great need for training girls & women in self -defence. If that could be achieved than we could witness smiles at every mile as women are the backbone in any society. To create awareness for this initiative, the best way was to make a promotional video. The fire to bring change in the society was instrumental in the composition of the song smiles at every mile. Manish Advani wrote the first song of his life supported by his colleague who acted in the film. Mr Nitin Bhogan Head – Change management directed the film with support of Rotary club of Bombay, as they assisted in the film making process by engaging kids from municipal schools.
Mr Manish Advani – Head marketing & Public Relations at Mahindra SSG said I was very happy when the initiative was lunched last year I am doubly happy to see our initiative being recognised by the industry. This award means a lot to us as it reposes our faith in what we are doing and also lead to increase in confidence & motivation level, while we are extending ourselves to the community at large. Mr Advani strongly believes and said we will accomplish our dream when every girl in India is a super girl or super women in self defence
