It is incredible that they take such pride in their work, feel empowered and live the culture everyday through their actions & behaviors. Walmart India is a place of opportunity and our associates are not just building better lives for their families, they also go the extra mile to serve our members, majority of whom are kiranas & small businesses, and help them become prosperous. Such commitment is critical for us in our journey of creating ‘Shared Value’ in India. Congratulations to all at Walmart India and I thank all associates, well-wishers & supporters.”
