Group 108 Partners With Human Touch Foundation For a Plantation Drive

Greater Noida, June 16, 2025: Group 108 has scripted a quiet yet impactful chapter of hope at its landmark IT Park development, Grandthum, in Techzone 4, Greater Noida (West). Themed ‘Plant Today, Breathe Tomorrow’, the plantation drive was not merely an environmental gesture—it was a deliberate act of reclamation, positioning nature back into the heart of real estate vision.

Organised as part of World Environment Month, the initiative saw the coming together of Group 108’s leadership, employees, project associates and volunteers from its partner NGO, The Human Touch Foundation, in a collective effort to reintroduce green lungs into a rapidly urbanising corridor. By noon, the expansive site of Grandthum bore the first signs of transformation—not with steel or concrete but with saplings planted in measured rhythm across designated zones within the project.

The effort aligns with Group 108’s broader Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) agenda—a road map that seeks not to greenwash development but to green-root it. The saplings chosen were indigenous hardy species and curated to thrive in the region’s climate and contribute tangibly to air purification and biodiversity recovery.

Amish Bhutani, MD, Group 108, said, “Urban growth and environmental integrity must not be adversaries. At Group 108, we believe that infrastructure must evolve alongside ecosystems. This initiative is not a routine formality—it is a philosophical anchor. To plant a tree is to vote for the future. And we intend to keep voting.”

The plantation drive unfolded with a quiet sense of purpose guided by Group 108’s leadership and supported by its on-ground teams and members of The Human Touch Foundation, the NGO partner for the initiative. 

The event concluded with informative sessions on urban greening, the ecological importance of native flora and the long-term carbon offset potential of tree-lined commercial landscapes.

Grandthum, known for its bold architectural language and commercial prominence, is fast emerging as a development that marries form with foresight. Beyond being a hub of retail and enterprise, the project is envisioned as a place where sustainability becomes experience, not marketing.
