EXL, through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, played a pivotal role in funding and supporting the ICU Unit's current upgrade. With the generous support of EXL, the ICU at Mai Mangeshkar Hospital underwent substantial improvements, expanding its capacity to accommodate 23 beds. This significant expansion allows the hospital to serve a broader range of critically ill patients, addressing the pressing need for accessible and high-quality critical care services. The ICU Unit is expected to reach full operational capacity within the next 2 to 3 months, further enhancing the hospital's capabilities.

In addition to the ICU upgrade at Mai Mangeshkar Hospital, the collaborative efforts of the Spherule Foundation and volunteers from EXL resulted in a series of impactful awareness sessions across the city of Pune. These sessions aimed to educate and empower communities on critical topics such as road traffic accidents and first aid, mental health and stress management, and breaking the menstruation taboo. By equipping communities with knowledge and preventive measures, these sessions aimed to minimize the occurrence of ailments that necessitate critical care, fostering a proactive approach to healthcare.
