Mumbai-based Growel’s 1O1 Mall came on board with MCGM to become the first Mall in Mumbai to facilitate drive-in vaccinations for Senior Citizens. 
Being shut due to the lock-down, malls host large vacant spaces in the city like Mumbai, with an almost ready infrastructure where a vaccination centre can be built-up with minimum investment. 

Speaking about the drive-in vaccination initiative at Growel’s 101, Sachin Dhanawade, Chief Operating Officer (COO) Retail & Real Estate, Grauer & Weil (India) Limited, which operates Growel’s 1O1 Mall in Mumbai, said, “We are thankful to MCGM to reach out to our management and give us an opportunity to host the Drive-In Vaccination Centre. We are happy to be a part of this larger cause that will facilitate inoculation of Senior Citizens who are otherwise finding it difficult to get vaccinated due to their health issues, long wait time and overcrowding at the venues.” 

Growel’s 101 Mall, given to its large spacious open airy parking space, easy accessibility, ready infrastructure, with highest standard hygiene and sanitisation practices, serves as an ideal host for such kind of community drives. 

The drive-in vaccination centre was inaugurated by Honourable Mayor of Mumbai Smt. Kishori Pednekar.
