    Dalmia Cement launches digital engagement programme with dealers during lockdown

    MUMBAI: Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd has launched a digital engagement programme, ‘Dalmia Cares’ for its dealers and channel partners across the country. The programme offers cement dealers multiple ways to engage in social responsibility, wellness and family activities using digital and in home/ near home activities.

    Dalmia Cement COO Ujjwal Batria said, “We have prided ourselves on being the first to market with various digital tools over the years. These tools help dealers make day to day business interactions easy, quick and cost-efficient. With the lockdown in force to overcome Covid19, we have launched several activities to keep morale up, help local communities and increase life satisfaction during this difficult time.”

    Dalmia Cement executive director marketing Pramesh Arya said, “Many of our dealers are community and business leaders, and have already undertaken a number of social activities in their local areas. With Dalmia Cares, we wanted to create a larger social movement, helping give shape to a more focused effort to help communities and families.”

    The Dalmia Cares programme includes daily task-based activities, including showcasing hidden talents, fitness activities at home, culinary challenges, puzzles, feeding local communities, helping stray animals among others. Dealers completing these tasks earn reward points, which they can redeem against a range of exciting prizes, including gadgets and household appliances. Dealers were also encouraged to donate to the PM-CARES fund and other charitable organisations of their choice. These funds raised by Dalmia Cement dealers are in addition to the Rs 25 crore and Rs 1.6 crore donated by Dalmia Bharat Group, and its employees respectively.

    Dalmia Cement is one of the largest producers of speciality cement products in India, offering individual and institutional customers a wide variety of products across the country. The brand also offers products under the Dalmia DSP and Konark brands in key markets. 

    The programme has received hundreds of entries from the states Dalmia Cement operates in, with dealers delighting families and local communities with their contributions. The company will extend the programme as long as the effects of the lockdown remain in force around the country.
