Founding Year
Lifesaving Mumbai was established in 2011.
Founders and Inspiration
The company was founded by Mr. Yusuf Chudesra, with assistance from Kanchan Mhatre and Uvais Chudesra. Mr. Yusuf's extensive involvement in lifesaving for over 28 years, coupled with his role as Vice President on the NGO panel dedicated to lifesaving, inspired the creation of Lifesaving Mumbai. His remarkable ability to save four drowning victims by performing CPR ignited the passion to establish this life-saving organization.
Initial Challenges and Milestones
In the early days, Lifesaving Mumbai faced significant challenges. The concept of lifesaving was not widely accepted, and people did not fully commit to the cause, believing it was the government's responsibility. Despite these obstacles, the organization achieved notable milestones, including the affiliation for their certification, government recognition, and international affiliations.
Growth and Evolution
During the initial years, financial support was a constant struggle. Lifesaving Mumbai started with a small team of dedicated individuals, committed to making a difference despite the financial constraints. Over the years, the organization's perseverance paid off, as it gradually expanded its network and influence. Lifesaving Mumbai's reputation for excellence in training and certification attracted partnerships with various like-minded organizations across India. Today, the organization boasts a robust network of volunteers, trainers, and affiliates who share a common goal of promoting lifesaving skills. With a focus on continuous improvement, Lifesaving Mumbai has developed advanced training programs and adopted the latest technology to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their courses.
Notable Achievements and Recognitions
One of the organization's notable achievements is securing affiliation with the Australian Lifesaving Academy (ALA), a branch of the International Lifesaving Federation (ILS). This affiliation has enabled Lifesaving Mumbai to offer internationally recognized certifications, elevating the organization's credibility and appeal. Additionally, Lifesaving Mumbai has received numerous awards and accolades for its contributions to community safety and public health. The organization's efforts have been acknowledged by government bodies, private organizations, and international partners, further solidifying its status as a leader in the lifesaving community.
Vision for the Future
Lifesaving Mumbai's vision is to train and certify individuals in life-saving techniques, ensuring everyone has the skills to save lives, whether at home or work. To achieve this vision, Lifesaving Mumbai aims to expand its reach through strategic partnerships with private, semi-government, and government organizations.
