What makes us smile?

When we see a young woman agri-entrepreneur from Jharkhand (Ranchi), guiding more than a thousand smallholder farmers to better yields and prosperity,

We smile.

When we see mothers, wives, daughters, and woman of all ages, equipped to make informed choices about their health,  

We smile.

When we see families across the country prioritizing self-care,

and each individual being able to pursue their dreams, and welfare,

We smile.

When we see partners joining hands and coming together,

to make a sustainable impact for the future,

We smile.

When we look back on the last 125 years of Bayer in India,

and the difference we have made to lives here,

We smile.
