Nova Bossa Launches in India

Through a new pilot investment model launched in 2010, Partners Worldwide is empowering a triple-bottom-line business called Nova Bossa, an eco-friendly company that employs both disadvantaged youth and competent professionals in Hyderabad, India.

As the only company in India that provides waterless car washes, Nova Bossa launched this October by showcasing their service following a Jeep Thrills Competition on “India’s most challenging manmade off -road track.” Before the race, close to thirty Indian employees listened as Partners Worldwide President Doug Seebeck encouraged them to embrace the calling that God has placed in their lives.

But this is just the beginning. By 2014, this pilot model seeks to create 2,000 new jobs, demonstrating that when business people in India live out God’s calling, the possibilities are endless.

Employee Testimony:

“My name is Bala Swamy. I am married and am blessed with a daughter who is six months old. I was born in a Hindu family and have recently come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through a small fellowship
church.

I was working in two places on odd jobs like housekeeping and valet parking, when one Sunday my pastor announced some opportunities for school dropouts with no job skills. I was directed to meet the manager at Nova Bossa and was recruited to clean cars and groom cars as a technical assistant. Yet, because of my commitment and hard work during the training period, the company moved me to a higher position and made me a shift manager.

I praise God because through this opportunity my life has changed. My wife and my child and I can live with dignity. I’m proud to tell others about my job and the opportunity given to me.

I believe it is only God’s goodness and grace on my family and me that now I am a supervisor of a growing respect. Like me, there are so many others whose lives have been enriched by our experience working with Nova Bossa.”
