Viswanathan, Multi-Speciality Hospital, Tiruchirappalli said “It was Wada-san’s idea to do a brand film on Endobus and I was humbled with his thought. Philanthropy has been a part of my family tradition for generations and it is not something that I usually talk about. The story of Gopal and how he is fighting cancer is very inspiring and the Seaface Films Team along with the Corporate Communications team have done a good job in bringing this story to the world”

This year it was the transition from concept to reality by showcasing what we have done and how we have supported the society. Gopal’s story is one of them who got a new live because of the early detection done through endobus. Empathy has been at the core of our storytelling; hope we have been able to do that.”
