This Republic Day, Nashik MFD Rupali Kulkarni, Training Head, SWS Financial Solutions participated in e-waste collection drive by installing a collection point at her office.
Through this drive, the woman MFD along with SWS Financial Solutions team approached over 2000 clients to encourage them to dispose their e-waste like electronic goods and gadgets.
