HDFC Bank, one of India’s leading private-sector banks, will host the 17th edition of its nationwide Blood Donation Drive under its flagship CSR initiative, Parivartan. The annual effort is scheduled for December 5, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and will take place across more than 1,100 cities in India. The initiative continues to be one of the Bank’s most impactful community welfare programmes, encouraging large-scale participation from employees, customers, corporates, defence personnel, students and members of local communities.
The drive highlights the Bank’s commitment to supporting the country’s ongoing requirement for safe and timely blood donations. Since its inception in 2007, the Annual Blood Donation Drive has grown from only 88 centres and 4,385 units collected to more than 5,533 camps and 3.38 lakh units collected across 1,408 locations in 2024. It also earned a Guinness World Record in 2013 for conducting the largest single-day, multiple-venue blood donation event.
Mr Kaizad Bharucha, Deputy Managing Director at HDFC Bank, expressed gratitude to all volunteers and partners who have contributed to the drive over the years. He emphasised that the simple act of donating blood can create an immediate and meaningful impact on someone’s life. Mr Bhavesh Zaveri, Executive Director at HDFC Bank, noted that the initiative has grown significantly due to the dedication and teamwork demonstrated by employees and partners, reaffirming the Bank’s commitment to strengthening India’s healthcare ecosystem.
To ensure the highest standards of safety and transparency, HDFC Bank collaborates with reputed blood banks, healthcare institutions, NGOs and government authorities. This year’s edition will continue these partnerships, maintaining strong adherence to medical protocols and ethical practices. With community participation at its core, the 17th Annual Blood Donation Drive seeks to inspire individuals across the country to come together and contribute to a life-saving cause.
