AUMOVIO Initiative Creates Bangalore's New Green Art Corridor

A vital part of the Bangalore metro has been renovated into a green corridor of art as part of a corporate social responsibility (CSR) program by AUMOVIO India in partnership with the Vibhinna India Foundation. The outer metro corridor from the Hosa Road and Bommanahalli junctions and from Infosys to Huskur Road has been landscaped with ecological restoration and public art.

Over several months, the landscaping teams maintained approximately 230 median areas and planted more than 84,800 saplings. In addition to aesthetically improving the area, 195 metro pillars have been painted with traditional Warli art designs, which integrate the transit infrastructure with cultural significance for its users. The maintenance of the green spaces, with the assistance of more than 900 loads of water and weekly health checks, has also helped to establish the project. The integration of green space and art has led to the public deeming the transit area a green corridor of art.

On 10th October 2025, the partnership was officially launched in front of senior officials from the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), AUMOVIO officials, and representatives from the Vibhinna India Foundation.  

The project also included a considerable employee volunteering component. In 2025, AUMOVIO facilitated three large volunteer drives that had more than 200 employees participate. The volunteers made a significant contribution to the project by planting 6,400 saplings and painting 60 of the pillars of the metro, demonstrating their commitment to supporting the sustainability goals of Bangalore.  

Prashanth Doreswamy, CEO and President of AUMOVIO India, remarked that this project highlights the impact that collaboration amongst communities, corporations, and civic institutions can have in generating social change and developing a scalable model for urban restoration that aligns with the company's climate agenda.

David Kumar, Executive Director of Vibhinna India Foundation, indicated that the project effectively connects ecology and art, developing spaces that generate environmental awareness and civic pride. He acknowledged that the energy of the AUMOVIO employees was critical to the success of their vision.

The project is meant to be a repeatable model for other urban centers in India who are looking to marry beautification projects with ecological restoration. To ensure the impact is sustained, the project team developed a formal, long-term maintenance plan to protect the health of the vegetation and the artwork. 

As Bangalore continues to expand, this project is an example of how responsible business collaborations and engaged civic participation combine to produce more sustainable and attractive urban spaces for the future.
