Burgundy symbolizes Innovation which, like the vastness of Space, provides us limitless scope to transcend boundaries. Magenta denotes Excellence which, like the strength of Wind, lifts and drives our ceaseless pursuits. Orange stands for Entrepreneurship which, like the energy of fire, fuels our creativity. Blue signifies indelible Experiences we create which, like the serene and deep Water, engulf all our stakeholders. Green indicates our sense of Responsibility which, like the nurturing Earth, guides us in all we do. These five colours come together as a swirling mass to form a dynamic circle of unparalleled energy. This new form of energy is a reflection of Amara Raja, an emblem of everything that defines – ‘The Amara Raja Way’.
