RealPage India donates 30,107 pair of shoes to school children, sets new Guinness World Records title
Hyderabad, Nov 14 (FN Representative) On the occasion of Children’s Day, RealPage, a leading global provider of software and data analytics to the real estate industry on Sunday announced the launch of its new social impact initiative, ‘RealSoles from RealSouls’. The initiative set a new Guinness World Records title by making a continuous line of 60,000 shoes and contributing the 30,107 pairs of shoes to school-goers of Telangana government primary schools.
A total of seven government schools took part in the event held at Gachibowli Stadium here today and the shoes were distributed to the children of 100 government schools across Hyderabad. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Sandeep Sharma, SVP & Managing Director, RealPage India said, “This is much more than just setting a record. Beyond the record attempt, every RealPager wanted to see the smiles on the faces of those under privileged children when they got their new pair of shoes as part of the initiative… and today we did it. This Guinness World Records title makes our 2021 even greater and RealPage India wishes the best for our beneficiaries.”
Mr Swapnil Dangarikar, Official Adjudicator at Guiness said, “The attempt for the longest line of shoes was last done in 2011 in The United States of America, which was 24,962. Nobody has attempted to break this record in the longest time. RealPage broke the record today with 30,107 pairs lined up in 6.188 kms. I flew down all the way to witness this and I’ve seen the entire line and the way it was arranged and all I can say is RealPage is Officially Amazing.” The program highlights the importance of giving back to communities and honours organizations and individuals who are making a difference and building a better community and environment, a release here said.
