Aqua Security, an Israel-based leading pure-play cloud-native security provider with Indian operations at Hyderabad, has recently concluded its first-everAquathon, a global employee well-being initiative. Proceeds of the initiative will go directly to COVID relief support for India, focused on helping the families whose breadwinners have succumbed to coronavirus. Aquathon aims to give back to the community while building a strong, healthy, and united workforce. Aqua employees across the world raised funds for an Indian non-profit organization by registering their step-count for seven days and to raise funds for COVID relief in India.

If the worst of the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s the power of unity. It is truly humbling to witness our global workforce coming together to give back to our community. We hope we can make a small difference with initiatives like Aquathon.”
