Under this initiative, Milind Soman will embark on a 10-day long journey by riding a bicycle and driving an eco-friendly electric vehicle mapping through Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana before reaching Delhi.
The Green
Ride is being organized to spread awareness on importance of cleaner air and
encourage people to adopt sustainable modes of transport. The Green Ride will
be flagged off from Mumbai on 3rd December and conclude at Delhi on 13th
December, 2021. Enroute, he would visit Bank of Baroda branches at Godhra,
Baroda, Udaipur and Jaipur.
During
his tour Milind Soman would interact with Bank’s employees and his fans to
educate them about his user experience of bob World app for all his travel
booking and shopping needs on-the-go. He would also highlight the importance of
sustainable living such as the use of energy efficient transportation to ensure

On this collaboration, Shri. Sanjiv Chadha, MD & CEO, Bank
of Baroda said, “Sustainability is key to a strong nation and Bank of
Baroda strongly supports the ideologies of a sustainable living and
safeguarding the environment. Our association with ‘Green Ride - Ek Pehal Swachh Hawa ki Aur’
initiative spearheaded by India’s
most popular fitness enthusiast, Milind Soman, is an effort to promote
awareness and call for action among young Indians resulting in broader social
impact.”
Milind Soman said, “The GREEN RIDE is an effort
to promote healthier modes of transportation. It is an ode to the air that we
breathe, every living moment of our lives. It is my attempt to make us all more
aware and conscious of the ill-effects of air that is polluted by our own
actions. I hope this initiative makes people stop to think each time they pick
up their car keys to drive small distances, or switch on gensets during
power-failures, or burst crackers at celebrations. We all want progress and
development. But not at the cost of depriving future generations of the
beautiful world we have known. Let us celebrate our many technological achievements.
Let us celebrate progress and development. But let us first celebrate the
clean, wonderful air we breathe, and do all we can to preserve it”.
