India’s 79th Independence Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm and unity at our Bangalore office, with a series of engaging events organized by the Associate Engagement (AE) Committee across August 12th & 13th. 🙌🎉 Throughout both days, associates also contributed messages, poems and artwork to the Freedom Tree. Associates were encouraged to wear their traditional ethnic attire turning the office into a colorful space with bright colors and textures. The celebration culminated in an impressive cultural program at the office cafeteria, including a Talent Show that lit up the stage with energetic performances from our associates. The highlight of this year’s celebration was the incredible turnout and enthusiastic participation in all events, which truly made the celebration special. ❤️🔥
Last week marked the end of our 2025 U.S. Summer Internship Program. Over the last three months, 30 interns collaborated with departments across the company bringing positive energy, creativity and innovative approaches. Associates had the opportunity to sit in intern presentations, where each student had the opportunity to present what they learned and achieved over the last eight weeks. It was a standout moment for many as students were able to reflect on their learning and celebrate each other's achievements. 💞 As the U.S. program comes to a close, the excitement continues in India, where 11 interns are 30 days into their six-month program. We look forward to their contribution to the organization during our time together! We sincerely thank all our interns for their hard work and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors!

Each session served as a meaningful reminder of the importance of taking time to recharge and reconnect, featuring quick, engaging games and the chance to win exciting prizes. 🏆
A few weeks ago, volunteers at Bread Financial gathered at Kempapura Government School, Hebbal, Bangalore for a powerful cause. The CSR Committee partnered with Upkriti to lead the back-to-school initiative to support over 500 underprivileged students through infrastructure improvements, school supply donations, student development programs and on-ground volunteer efforts. The volunteers helped distribute Bread Financial-branded school bags, water bottles and essential stationery kits, and also provided school benches and desks to improve classroom seating. Volunteers also joined students in painting classroom and boundary walls, turning the activity into an engaging and collaborative art session. In total, the initiative contributed more than 122 volunteer hours — a reflection of Bread Financial’s ongoing commitment to giving back and strengthening the communities it serves.

In response to the pressing need for potable water during the summer, associates from our India office recently volunteered to help install Bread Financial-branded water purifiers across 10 government schools in the Bangalore area. Each 50-liter purifier now ensures safe drinking water access for more than 3,500 students year round! 🙌 Following the installations, volunteers visited Hesaraghatta Lake for a conservation, which included plant care activities such as watering, pruning, and tending to local flora, and also took part in a plogging drive - collecting litter while jogging - to help clean the lake area and raise awareness for waste management.
