Social media timelines are filled with SOS calls with people looking for oxygen cylinders, hospital beds, plasma donors and ventilators. Organisations across the spectrum have come forward to support the fight against the COVID pandemic.
Contributions from homegrown and international firms, including Dream Sports, Uber and Capgemini, continue to pour in to support India s fight against COVID-19 amid the deadly second wave of the pandemic in the country. Dream Sports - which operates e-sports platform Dream11 - has donated Rs 15 crore to GiveIndia and ACT Grants for medical equipment, hospital beds and aiding the vaccination drive. Half of this will be spent on solving the current problem of supplying medical equipment and hospital beds and the other half will go towards supporting large scale vaccination drives. We will also be enabling contributions on our apps in a couple of days from all Sportans, our over 100 million users, and anyone else, to expedite the war against Covid-19, a Dream Sports spokesperson said.
