MI having established itself as a renowned institution in the Finance Company sector, with over 50 years of resounding success, further expanded its presence in the last decade and has always taken the initiative to make a lasting difference in people’s lives and livelihoods, going even beyond commercial boundaries. As another initiative, through MI’s budding microfinance operation, the company has enriched communities across the country, empowering women to improve their family’s living standards, a company spokesman said.
True to MI’s ethos, going that extra mile to help society, its social responsibility Initiatives launched each year have helped the less fortunate and underprivileged meet various needs, which would otherwise go unattended. MI’s unique corporate culture has not only enriched lives beyond its doorstep but also those who work within.
