Personal Profile | 2
I am trying to change corporate social
responsibility into common man’s social
responsibility. I have realized that there is
a thin line between societal responsibility
and marketing your Business cause. Many
Corporate houses use CSR to advance their
brand. Our corporate sector has to contribute
in genuine ways to the social good.
The necessity of being honest requires
one to frst exercise it on oneself, and then
telling employees to be honest. Similarly
observing discipline, strong work ethic
and being sincere with customers. For me,
a manifestation of this can be seen as a
Teacher in different Schools, Colleges, and
Universities.
I bring students and fedgling entrepreneurs
to my headquarters. I talk to them about
my experiences, garner some laughs and
encourage them to pursue private enterprise.
The idea is to provide them with a "moral
education" that covers self-suffciency,
the kind of values that anchored my own
business understanding and teaching them to
be effective corporate leaders.
We as volunteers have taken the
responsibility of Education in many ways. We
are trying to make an IMPACT and help bring
transformation.
Rahim Motors has signed a MOU with the
University of Kashmir and helps in skill
development of the youth of Kashmir. Making
them employable and whenever possible we
employ them at Rahim Motors.
Rahim Motors in collaboration with National
Institute of Technology (NIT, Srinagar)
has indigenously developed a seat heating
system.

Personal Profile | 6
Talking about myself, my nation and my role in
corporate volunteering
At the beginning I will tell about myself, how I
started from the bottom; growing up in a very
humble setting, having trouble with school (now I
have completed my 1year Executive MBA OMP
honors Manger Program at S.P Jain Institute of
Management, Mumbai, India). Inspiration to reach
wider horizons of thought and action.
I have remained a volunteer from the beginning
whether as a small worker or now as a C.E.O of
the company having almost 200 workers. Allow
me to say that for this work one needs to have a
kind heart, which feels human pain and sincerity
of purpose. Corporate, money and resources come
later. I will be mentioning the ideals which have
lighted me on my way and time after time given me
new courage to face life cheerfully and My passion
to do something for society.
From Rags to richesIt’s the classic rags-to-riches saga. Failing the
examination to earn my matriculate qualifcation
in 10th grade, I started my career as a mechanic.
I went on to work as a scooter mechanic, earning
a few hundred rupees a month; opened a maruti
repair workshop with one employee and Now
am C.E.O of Rahim Group of Companies, a
conglomerate of companies. All along I was living
and volunteering simultaneously with no resources
at hand.
Though I started a repair shop of my own- built a
tin shed and with two workers. Soon after, I joined
India’s largest automaker and a subsidiary of
Suzuki Motor Corporation, as a service provider.
Rahim Motors, is now a large complex and
operations also include two additional companies
at other sites, Rahim Automobiles and Rahim
Engineering Works. There are currently 175-200
employees under me.
I consider myself a full time volunteer, So I am
always in need of enthusiastic people who have a
passion for contributing their time to help others and
state. So I invest my time and their time to empower
youth, protect nature, education and healthcare.
Rahim GreensOut of this vision, a trust styled Rahim Greens was
born a few years ago. Now I divert some 25-30% of
my company’s profts for the social responsibility
projects. Through Rahim Greens we have taken
various initiatives. One Rahim Greens’s main
objective is nurturing young entrepreneurs.
Functional Summary
Personal Prof i le | 7
Volunteer support Steadily we gained volunteer support of individuals,
Educational Institutes, Colleges, University and
Civil society. We now have our own nursery for the
sapling which helps us in planting tress any time
and any where possible. I have also donated 50
solar lights to be used for studying in the remote
homes along the India-Pakistan border.
Plantation drives:The group has planted 125,000 trees around the
Kashmir valley since 2009, including in areas
of deforestation, which has become a concern
throughout the valley. Steadily we have gained
volunteer support of individuals, educational
institutes, colleges, university and Civil society.
Medical Aid in Unrest The healthcare sector has been strained in the
last over two decades of unrest, with hospitals
overwhelmed by huge number of injured.
With help Poor Voluntary Trust (hpvt.org.in), which
started many volunteering programs like medical
aid for needy persons, I voluntarily act as a driver
during emergencies for ambulances to ferry patients
to hospitals with my co-workers.
We provide free round the clock, courteous and
prompt emergency ambulance transportation to the
needy patients of our community and respond to
local emergency calls by Help poor Voluntary Trust
as well
SportsApart from these programs, Rahim Greens has
started encouraging and engaging youth into
different kinds of sports trainings and competitions
.We are sponsoring and convening many sport
events and football tournaments in the valley.
While there is great attraction towards football and
some also play cricket, at rahim greens attempts are
being made to attract youth to other sports. Rahim
Greens sponsors Rahim Greens Cricket Club and
Rahim Greens Football Club.
VisitsTrying to learn the best practices of the people who
have been in social service and volunteering for a
long time, I have been to numerous conferences
world over. Connecting with the World
In this time of Global Village doing one’s work at
one’s place is just not enough, one has to connect
with the world share one’s own experience and
learn from them. Trying to learn the best practices
of the people who have been in social service
and volunteering for a long time, I have been to
numerous conferences world over. Every visit has
been a learning experience and on returning have
always tried to implement what I learn.

Brief concept note
Working for Change in my community in terms of Education,
healthcare, Environment , Entrepreneurship and Sports
activities is what I thought was to be done at its best. My
vision was to help myself and to work for my people at once
Where do I go from here? What contribution can a strong
idea and action plan make to this state of affairs? We need to
understand the principles of this type of confict so that we can
contrast that to a Practical model of social entrepreneurship
where I consider Corporate Social responsibility framework for
common Man’s responsibility. The visionary ideas of apolitical
volunteerism holds the real keys to transform such conficts
besetting the world today.
I created Rahim Greens with a focus on four areas:
Environment, Education, healthcare, Entrepreneurship and
Sports activities
As my idea of social responsibility is deeply implicated in
individual and social conceptions of Human love my raison
Many Corporate houses use CSR to
advance their brand. In society, everyone is waiting for CSR/NGO funding for the
redressal of the grievances. In the same
way, Social entrepreneurship is attracting growing amounts of talent, money, and
attention. But along with its increasing
popularity has come less certainty about what exactly a social entrepreneur is and
does. As a result, all sorts of activities are
now being called social entrepreneurship.
I am trying to change corporate social
responsibility (CSR) into common man’s
social responsibility (CMSR). This vision is to create awareness in the general
masses/stakeholders to contribute in
genuine ways to the social good.
My common man’s social responsibility (CMSR) signals the imperative to drive
social change by the active participation of a common man with its lasting, transformational beneft to society.
I’m not sure I can always defne it, but I
know it when I see it.
All the MBA’s in the world can not touch
the impact created by the humble people pursuing small ventures and utilizing
their economic infuence to change the
communities they live in because these are bred through the hunger for meaning that usually only comes to those who are
motivated to change their own reality as well as that of others.
