Its sponsorship has helped Tamil Nadu’s hockey team achieve national success. The organisation also trains differently-abled tennis players for international events like the Deaf Olympics. Additionally, it promotes soft skill development through sports activities in government schools near its campuses, while volunteers organise events and improve infrastructure to foster growth and learning.

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited has been actively supporting state-run Homes for mentally challenged individuals in Bangalore since 2017.

These efforts have improved the inmates' social skills, concentration, and overall well-being. In 2018, Bosch funded the construction of a playground near the Homes, featuring play equipment and an outdoor gym.
