ICICI Lombard is committed to the cause of Road Safety and has been working across the continuum of awareness, prevention and rehabilitation. We have also been collaborating with traffic police for reinforcement of safer road practices, and working in high‑risk zones to implement zero‑fatality solutions and support the rehabilitation of accident victims through dedicated centres in Noida and Patna.
Since 2015, we have distributed more than 7 lakh helmets and impacted over 2.5 Million lives pan India.
Speaking on the achievement, Ms. Sheena Kapoor – Head – Marketing, Corporate Communications & CSR, ICICI Lombard, said, “Achieving a Guinness World Records™ title is a proud milestone for us at ICICI Lombard and a meaningful moment in our 25-year journey. Since 2015, road safety has been central to our community initiatives, and ‘Ride to Safety’ has helped us take this commitment to beneficiaries across India. Distributing 25,000+ helmets in just 12 hours is a testament of the power of collective action. For us, however, road safety goes beyond a record—it is about encouraging safer choices, responsible road behaviour and stronger communities. From helmets and awareness to zero-fatality corridors and rehabilitation, we remain committed to working with our partners and stakeholders to help reduce fatalities and create lasting change on India’s roads.
