Community Relations
Our organisation strives to be a responsible corporate citizen. We believe that by actively participating in causes that positively impact the community within which we live, we can make a real difference.
In 2007, the group established the Mirchandani Foundation, a charitable trust named after the late founder of the small trading company that became the organisation we know today.
Administered by a board of eminent independent trustees, the foundation provides assistance in the areas of health, crisis management and education. One of the foundations primary goals is to support English and Information Technology (IT) education programmes for youth in rural areas of Sri Lanka.

Starting in May 2008, Deccan will pledge 3 US Dollars for each passenger that fills in and returns a Customer Feedback Survey to the company. When each passenger boards a Deccan helicopter or aircraft, they will be given a survey to fill out on the level of satisfaction enjoyed on their flight and passengers are informed of the donation for every completed survey. The Sunera Foundation is a registered charity, which, for the last 8 years has been working towards the social integration of disabled people in Sri Lanka, using the performing arts. Music, dance, drama and theatre have proved to be an effective medium to highlight the person’s ability, rather than focussing on their disability.
