1."Axtria's association with FFE is a deep rooted connection with its values and core foundation. With immense sense of satisfaction of our humble contributions to the lives of FFE scholars, we feel strengthened and charged to do much more in the coming years. Our most proud contribution has been when we hired one of the mentees last year (2019) and could provide internships to 4 mentees this year (2020)."
