CEO, BharatCares
It has been a privilege to serve
as the anchor implementing
partner for the Bright Smiles,
Bright Futures® (BSBF) program
across multiple Indian states
over the past three years.
Reaching over 55 lakh students
in FY 2024–25, the program
shows how early, community-
focused interventions drive
lasting, generational change.
More than promoting oral
hygiene, BSBF is an investmen
in a future where every child has
the knowledge, habits, and
opportunities for a healthier life.
Dr. Mukesh Panwar
CEO, Oral Health Promotion
In India, oral health is often
overlooked in school health
education. Colgate’s Bright
Smiles, Bright Futures® program
helps fill this vital gap. Teaching
dental hygiene in primary school
prevents oral issues, major
diseases, and builds lifelong
habits. Including such programs
in the curriculum empowers
students to take charge of their
health early, fostering awareness
and reducing long-term
healthcare burdens. This isn’t
just dental care, it’s foundational
health literacy.
Ashutosh Burnwal
CEO, Buddy4Study
At Buddy4Study, our six-year
journey with Colgate India has
empowered students through
scholarships, mentorship, and
confidence. What makes this
partnership impactful is not just
its scale, but its depth,
combining financial aid with
guidance for holistic growth.
This is true CSR: inclusive,
life-changing, and community-driven.
Congratulations to the
Colgate team for bringing hope
and smiles to deserving youth.
We’re proud to be part of this
mission.
