Now, if you are unaware of boAt, it is a homegrown brand that has become quite popular in the country since its launch in 2016. The company initially manufactured affordable audio accessories for smartphones and became the market leader in the TWS earphones sector last year. So, citing the rising COVID cases in the country and the shortage of oxygen supply, boAt has partnered with the non-profit organization SaveLIFE Foundation to deliver high-grade oxygen concentrators and other necessary medical supplies to the hospitals that need them the most. This essentially aims to boost the capacity of the hospitals to save more COVID-19 patients. The two organizations will closely work with the country’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) for the next few days to help deliver the necessary supplies to various hospitals around the country. Initially, they will target those hospitals and COVID-care centers that are most affected by the shortage of medical oxygen. “The COVID-19 pandemic has reached catastrophic proportions in India, more so in the National Capital Region. As an Indian brand, we recognize the challenges being faced by our people today and we truly hope that our small contribution will support healthcare and frontline workers as they race against time to save lives and contain the spread of this virus,” the CEO of boAt, Aman Gupta said in a statement. Besides, if you are an Indian citizen above 18, you too can help the country by getting vaccinated under the third phase, which kicks off May 1.
