Addressing the large gathering, Mr. Ajay Amalean, Managing Director of MAS Corporate Solutions, stated; “We believe that our responsibility goes beyond opening the doors opportunity to our employees but also includes providing them with the skills to walk through them with confidence. I consider the freedom of choice to be all you can be as the greatest gift we have given our employees. The satisfaction of uplifting the livelihood of the people who work for us & their families was enough of a reason to start & continue this program.”

The Women Go-Beyond initiatives at MAS have been globally recognized and rewarded. In 2005, the programme was awarded the American Apparel and Footwear Association Award for Excellence on women's issues.
