Salesforce, the world’s #1 AI CRM, has officially flagged off the Jaipur edition of the Salesforce Run 2025, the company’s flagship annual community fitness event. Now in its third year, the initiative continues to grow, bringing together Salesforce employees, Futureforce interns, customers, and partners—collectively known as Trailblazers—to celebrate physical and mental well-being while supporting social and environmental causes.
Expanding the Salesforce Run Across India and Singapore
This year, the Salesforce Run will be hosted across six Indian cities, along with its first-ever international edition in Singapore. The expansion reflects Salesforce’s commitment to fostering community engagement and holistic wellness among its growing network of employees and partners.
Salesforce Doubles Its CSR Contribution to ₹4 Crore
Underlining its continued focus on giving back, Salesforce has pledged ₹4 crore this year—twice the amount contributed last year—to create meaningful social impact through partnerships with leading non-profit organizations. The funds will be directed toward education and environmental sustainability initiatives in collaboration with four NGO partners.
Empowering Education and Climate Action
Through this initiative, Salesforce aims to bring digital classrooms to over 12,000 students across India with the help of Meghshala Trust and Wadhwani AI. Meanwhile, WRI India and the Climate Collective Foundation will drive climate innovation by supporting climate tech entrepreneurs in South Asia and contributing to the planting of 50,000 trees.
4.4 Lakh Kilometers Logged Ahead of the Main Event
Ahead of the official city runs, Salesforce employees from across India have participated in pre-event fitness challenges—collectively logging over 4.4 lakh kilometers of running and walking activity. The initiative not only promotes health and wellness but also reinforces Salesforce’s culture of community and shared purpose.
The Jaipur edition marks another milestone in Salesforce’s journey of combining fitness, philanthropy, and sustainability, empowering its Trailblazer community to make a lasting impact both within and beyond the organization.
Speaking about the event, Arundhati Bhattacharya, President and CEO, Salesforce – South Asia, remarked, “The Salesforce Run is our culture in motion. It’s where community, collaboration, and a shared ambition to give back come alive, proving our core belief that business is the greatest platform for change. Seeing that incredible energy is a powerful reminder that our collective steps create real, tangible impact. This event perfectly embodies the Salesforce spirit, defining the difference we can make together in the communities we serve.”
Jyoti Thyagarajan, Founder and Managing Trustee, Meghshala Trust, commented, “At Meghshala, we bring learning to life with teachers, who then enthusiastically apply our lessons in their classrooms. To ensure even the most remote teachers can access our lessons, we use engaging, app-based technology that empowers them to deliver better learning experiences in their schools. Through our partnership with Salesforce, we are delighted to bring digital classrooms to students across India, helping them access quality education. Participating in this initiative and celebrating the collaboration that transforms education for underserved communities is our way of giving back to the bright-eyed children we serve.”
Madhav Pai, CEO, WRI India, commented, “Our work focuses on improving people’s lives, protecting and restoring nature, and addressing climate change. The engagement and enthusiasm from the Salesforce community is truly encouraging. Collaborations like this empower innovative solutions and sustainable practices, and it’s inspiring to see such collective energy directed toward building a greener future. We are delighted to be part of this initiative and the tangible impact it creates for communities and the planet.”
