Niloufer Bilimoria, KHUSHWANT SINGH LITERARY FESTIVAL, KASAULI
A huge highlight of The Khushwant Singh Litfest (KSLF) in Kasauli and London each year has been our long partnership with Grow-Trees.com. Where a tree has been planted for every speaker since inception.
Let's hear it from some of our celebrity writers.
"This brings back many memories. My father's first posting (1945) was in Sealdah with the West Bengal Railways. I was born in Narayanganj (which finds much mention in Nirad Chaudhuri's Autobiography of an Unknown Indian). I used to hear from my mother that when the railway saloon was parked in the siding at Khulna, she heard the tigers all night. I could never have imagined I would be responsible for a tree in the Sunderbans.

“What a lovely project and memory. My first career was as a forester in Canada, a job that I worked at for 18 years. I have personally planted over 250,000 trees - but this is the first tree I've been involved in planting in the Himalayas so this is wonderful. Thank you.

Heena, MCHI Trust
We expressed our gratitude to the speakers and dignitaries present at our 41st Annual Gathering Meeting by honouring them with Grow-Trees’ personalised eTreeCertificates®. Greeting with trees is a unique and meaningful way to mark milestones and pay tribute. Their web-enabled process has further facilitated our efforts and made the process efficient and seamless. We look forward to continuing our work together and nurturing our relationship with Grow-Trees in the years to come.

Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish. Wonderful job Grow-Trees, Association with you means association with nature. We applaud this superb initiative. Looking forward to many more plantations together and to make Earth a greener place to live.
Shekhar, Assistant Manager Marketing, Zelle Biotechnology Pvt Ltd
I got to know about Grow-Trees about a year and a half back when we had our company annual event and I was looking for a unique and sustainable gifting idea for our company employees but we couldn't go-ahead that time due to some reason. However this year we did connect with them and got associated for a novel gifting concept which was appreciated by the entire team as it serves twofold purpose, one its a unique gift idea and second by this way we're doing our bit for the society for a better world. Grow-Trees is doing a fabulous job by bringing this concept and helping our environment. I would like to mention special appreciation to Catherine Andrews for being with us from the beginning of this process and helping me through till the end and solving doubts. Also Sanskruti who processed the invoices and payments smoothly. Thanks to both Catherine and Sanskruti we were not stuck anywhere. I have already recommended Grow-Trees to my friends and families for their future gifting purposes.
Klynn Fernandes, SBFC Finance Limited
We had done a campaign on 5th June this year to plant trees for every like we got on our “World Environment Day” post on social media. We came across the Grow-Trees organisation to help us out in this noble cause to plant over 1000+ trees in different regions. The trees that have been planted help us offset our carbon footprint and have also helped create workdays for local communities. The entire process was as easy as it could get. Grow-Trees has helped us make the world a greener place. Thank you!

We found the Grow-Trees initiative of Greet with Trees® to be incredibly valuable. It seamlessly combines the act of doing good by planting trees with the opportunity to engage guests and stakeholders during events. We would definitely encourage others to foster connections with their stakeholders by planting trees. Additionally, the operational support we received from the Grow-Trees team for preparing the eTreeCertificates® was excellent.

Prayag Arora-Desai, Mumbai First
At Mumbai First, we are ever so conscious about doing our bit for the environment, and during our silver jubilee year, 'Climate Action' was identified as one of our core themes. This made Grow-Trees the perfect partner to work with during a panel discussion we held in October to mark World Habitat Day, 2023. The team at Grow-Trees was extremely helpful and proactive in our interactions, and we hope to keep working with them in the future. The concept was very well received by our board, our guests and our esteemed speakers.
Shubham Bhosale, Indian Chamber of Commerce
We are absolutely thrilled to share our experience with Grow-Trees. Their services have left an indelible mark on us, combining environmental stewardship and convenience in a truly remarkable way. From the moment we engaged with Grow-Trees, we were struck by their dedication to reforestation and sustainable practices. The platform's user-friendly interface made it incredibly easy for me to choose the type of tree we wanted to plant and the location where it would make the most impact. The ability to personalise each tree planted, whether to celebrate an occasion or honour a loved one, added a heartfelt touch to the process. We will wholeheartedly endorse their services to anyone who seeks a tangible way to contribute to the planet's well-being. In a world where our ecological footprint matters more than ever, Grow-Trees stands out as a beacon of hope and action. Our journey with them has been gratifying, and we look forward to continuing to be a part of their inspiring mission.
Shaikh Sahir Shabbir, Syngenta Group
We at Syngenta have partnered extensively with Grow-Trees last year. We have planted more than 6000+ trees and the number keeps growing. For all our important events at Syngenta we plant trees in recognition of colleagues/leaders who support/sponsor our initiative. Every time we share the certificate of tree plantation with our colleagues, it brings immense happiness and a sense of contribution to the recipient. We find it a great gift to be given to anyone around the world. The process is super simple and the impact of the gift is priceless.

Kartik Shah, Financial Planner, Fee Only Investment Advisers LLP
We are an investment advisory firm, and we are co-working with Circle Wealth Advisors Pvt Ltd. They have been planting trees on their clients' birthdays, and this inspired us as well to follow suit. This is a very warm gesture to feel good on someone's special day by contributing to the environment, which always sat in the back of their minds, but they were unable to do anything about it. So thank you, Grow-Trees, for making it happen.
