Skilling the children, the Pothys way

It's a twice blessed act. It blesses the giver and it blesses the receiver, too.

Well, this act gets a new nomenclature and also regulatory sanctity in the modern business world. Yet, the significance of this can’t be just confined to the regulatory domain.  Pothys is a legacy brand trusted for quality and authenticity.

Pothys has established itself as a household name in the textile industry in Tamil Nadu. It has a reputation that stems from its unflinching dedication to give highest quality, exclusive and diverse clothing options and unmatched customer service. Pothys is now on a mission to skill the kids in retail management. It has formed a trust in the name of Guruvammal Charitable Trust, based in Chennai. Ostensibly, Pothys is keen to use this trust as its CSR arm.  This trust will be the platform for Pothys to use the CSR funds for public causes. It has started KVPS Academy in Trichy. This academy will train kids who have passed 10th standard. These  kids will be given a one-week class-room training in retail management at KVPS centre with a staying   facility for 50 people and free food.  They will be given an opportunity to get a job also. The objective of the trust is to provide “empowerment through free skill training.” The academy is a nascent one. The fourth skill training session for the kids will commence on 1 August. For details, call 70944 92626.
