The first step in empowerment is taking control of your own health, respecting yourself and understanding and celebrating the value you bring to your family and society. Empowerment is not a gift of society; it is a gift you give yourself.

Mr. Deepak Goradia – Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Dosti Realty says “Dosti Realty is glad to play a key role in Dosti Thane going Pink to help spread awareness on breast cancer and women’s fitness via this unique platform of a Women Marathon. We have always believed in the abilities of women and encouraged them even within the organization through women friendly policies that allow them to strike a work life balance comfortably. A healthy lifestyle is another aspect that we have always advocated and it has been an important aspect kept in mind while designing our projects.  We understand the constraints one faces in making time to go out to get the necessary exercise and hence we create multiple activity areas within our projects be it Dosti Acres, Dosti Vihar, Dosti Imperia etc to tackle that issue . Not only do we provide the usual swimming pool and gymnasium, but we also have  squash courts, a rock climbing wall, tennis courts, badminton courts, table tennis areas, a jogging track , yoga/ meditation areas etc catering to all age groups . We wish Mr. Milind Soman and the team the best in their efforts to take Pinkathon across other locations to spread this message of a healthy lifestyle.”
