The annual ten-day celebration is a very important period in the Hindu Indian culture.

“I&M Bank has a massive Indian clientele and we found sponsoring such a transcendent celebration as the ideal way of giving back and strengthening that emotional connection with the Indian community. This highlights the bank’s commitment to cultural preservation and community engagement which represents our enabling giving core value. Our vision is to also positively transform the physical, social and economic environments of communities in Uganda and this serves the notion right,” said Annette Nakiyaga, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, I&M Bank Uganda.

An initiative of this magnitude also has the ability to raise brand awareness and reinforce the bank’s association with the festival

It’s a time of joy, devotion and celebration with about 2000 people participating in Kampala.
