FinTech firm Easebuzz partners with Bombay Sappers to fund education of defense widows’ children

Easebuzz, a FinTech company, has launched a new effort to support the children of widowed defense families by signing an MoU with the Indian Army’s Bombay Sappers.

The partnership is aimed at improving access to education for students identified by the regiment.

The company said the initiative is part of its CSR program and is focused on helping Veer Naris’ children pursue schooling and higher studies while building skills for future employment.

Under the agreement, Easebuzz will provide financial assistance to selected students, with the Bombay Sappers Association responsible for identifying beneficiaries and overseeing the program.

Speaking at the signing, Lieutenant General Vikas Rohella said, "The Indian Army remains deeply committed to the welfare of its personnel and their families. This partnership with Easebuzz is a meaningful step in helping the children of Veer Naris access education and build brighter futures. It is a commendable example of the private sector extending solidarity to the defense community."

Easebuzz emphasized that the collaboration reflects its commitment to community welfare.

"We are honored to partner with the Indian Army in this noble cause. Behind every soldier stands a family that contributes silently to the nation's strength,” said Amit Kumar, Director and CTO, Easebuzz.

“Supporting the education of these children is our way of expressing gratitude for that sacrifice and allowing them to dream and succeed,” Kumar added.

The MoU was signed in Pune in the presence of senior Army officers and Easebuzz leadership.

The company noted that the effort aligns with its CSR responsibilities under Schedule VII of the Companies Act, which includes education and support for armed forces dependents.
