Calling the movement’s launch a step towards a “more compassionate and unified world,” Wockhardt founder Khorakiwala said that in these times of “growing division and global uncertainty, there is an urgent need for collective efforts rooted in empathy, justice, and cooperation.”
“Through dialogue, education, and inclusive action, we aim to create a lasting impact,” he said, adding that peace is not just a goal, but a shared responsibility.
Since its inception, the movement has drawn nearly two million online supporters worldwide, emerging as a platform for peace advocacy and social change.
Its past initiatives include digital campaigns on conflict resolution, educational programmes on human values, and partnerships with humanitarian groups providing relief and psychosocial support in crisis-hit areas.
