The unveiling of the JK Tech logo on the summit of Mount Everest marked the beginning of a transformational journey for the digital and IT services business.
The success of the climb can only be attributed to the sheer determination and perseverance of Akash Negi, an experienced mountaineer who trained for months prior to the ascent.
Negi works closely with the AttachAvi Autism Foundation and has been volunteering for many years. The Everest climb is part of his personal mission to scale the famous Seven Summits, comprising of the seven highest peaks on each continent: Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Vinson, Elbrus and Puncak Jaya.
Negi is aiming to overcome a challenge that few have ever completed to raise awareness of autism, and JK Tech committed itself as one of the principal sponsors of the mission after becoming aware of it.
Aloke Paskar, CEO and president of JK Tech, said: “JK Tech has always contributed to the upliftment of society and supports individuals such as Akash Negi who strive for the betterment of humanity. Akash also unveiled the new JK Tech logo on Mount Everest, which is a reminder of how we as an organisation will continue to work towards transforming the world in all ways that we can.
“We are thankful to be able to sponsor a portion of the Seven Summit expedition undertaken by Akash and we wish him all the success on his quest to the seven summits.”
Akash Negi said in a statement responding to the sponsorship: “I feel grateful to have a corporate sponsor of such magnitude support my goal of completing the seven summits. When I unfurled JK Tech's new logo at the top of Mount Everest, my journey to the top had peaked, but JK Tech's transformation journey had just started. I hope to continue sharing lessons learned from my mountaineering trips and motivate people and corporations to climb their own Everest within!"
Negi later added on LinkedIn: “Climbing Everest was tough but having the support and encouragement of thousands at JK Tech made it so much easier! Big thanks to JK Tech for welcoming me in their family as a sponsored athlete.”
