Algoworks announced today that it has joined Pledge 1%, a global movement to create a new normal for companies of all sizes and stages to have a positive social impact through their business. Algoworks is joining thousands of companies around the world who have committed to Pledge 1% of either their product, profit, equity, and/or staff time to a charity of their choosing. Algoworks is proud to announce its commitment to donate 1% of profit to the PM Cares Fund.

The company has donated 500,000 Indian Rupee to the PM Cares Fund, the official Indian government fund created to help those affected by COVID-19 across India. Algoworks employees have also promoted the use of face masks and sanitizers in their communities. They’ve helped spread the word by virtually hosting meet-ups with their peers; educating them about the effects, symptoms, and prevention of the virus.

Algoworks has supported remote work and work from home well before the national lockdown took place, to protect their valued employees. As a result, none of Algoworks’ 400+ workforce in India or the U.S. has tested positive for COVID-19, despite the headquarters located in the most affected district near the capital, New Delhi.

Rachit Agarwal, Co-Founder & Director of Algoworks, was quoted as saying, “The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented situation for businesses and families, both. It is time we all support each other and help come out of this situation unharmed. It is our duty as responsible humans to support and stand strong with humanity in the fight against coronavirus. We are contributing INR 500,000 to the PM Cares Fund to help those who have been heavily impacted by the pandemic, and also to the doctors/nurses/essential workers who are working 24*7 to keep us safe.”

Algoworks is proud to join the Pledge 1% community and encourages other companies to take the pledge and leverage their business as a force for good.
