THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY INDIA AND STAR INDIA CONTRIBUTE INR 50 CRORE TO INDIA’s FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19

Mumbai -- Disney and Star India have pledged financial support of INR 50 crore towards the ongoing COVID-19 relief efforts in India. The proceeds will be utilized for the procurement of critical healthcare equipment, including oxygen concentrators, BiPAP, and ventilators along with setting up oxygen plants across hospitals.

Madhavan, President, The Walt Disney Company India and Star India, through a Tweet, said, " We stand in solidarity with all of India in our fight against COVID-19. The Walt Disney Company and Star India are humbly contributing INR 50 crore to aid relief efforts. The need of the hour is to provide critical healthcare supplies and equipment to save lives.
