About Vandan

A tradition of gratitude at the heart of Progress Alliance.

Vandan is not a programme. It is a pause — a sacred evening when every PA partner brings their mother and father, and offers them the one thing entrepreneurship rarely gives back in time: a moment of full, unhurried thanks.

Through Pad Poojan, vandan, and the simple act of sitting together, we acknowledge the truth every founder knows but seldom speaks aloud — that the business stands on the shoulders of the parents who believed first.

Witness the power of love, dedication, and growth. Celebrate the extraordinary parents who shaped the entrepreneurs we have become.

मातृ देवो भव। पितृ देवो भव।

“May your mother be a god to you. May your father be a god to you.” — Taittiriya Upanishad

मातृपितृसेवा परमं तपः।

“Service to one’s mother and father is the highest tapasya.”

“मेरे माता-पिता, मेरे चारों धाम।”

“My mother and father are my four pilgrimages.”

Why we gather

मूल्यThe four bhavnas of Vandan.

Vandan stands on four quiet ideas — the sentiments every PA family carries into the evening.

Gratitude

मातृ देवो भव, पितृ देवो भव — the first teachers of every entrepreneur.

Roots

A reminder that every business is built on the sacrifice of the family behind it.

Sanskar

Carrying forward the values our parents lived by — into our businesses and our homes.

Parivar

Progress Alliance is not a network — it is a family. Vandan is our family evening.

The evening

कार्यक्रमHow the evening unfolds.

A simple, rooted flow — the way a family gathering should be. Arrive together, pray together, eat together.

01

Welcome & Aarti

Families gather as the evening opens with diya, aarti, and a collective prayer.

02

Pad Poojan

Partners perform Pad Poojan of their parents — the sacred ritual of washing and honouring the feet.

03

Vandan & Gifting

A heartfelt vandan, blessings, and a token of gratitude presented to every parent.

04

Bhojan Together

The evening closes with a family bhojan — the whole PA parivar at one table.

मातृ देवो भव। पितृ देवो भव।

Bring your parents to Vandan.

Add your family members on the Partner Portal — Poojan (parents) and Poojan Karnar (other family) — and your seats are reserved for the evening.
