Clove Dental Partners Women Climbers On Everest Base Camp Journey

Clove Dental, Asia’s largest dental chain, extended its support to the Everest Expedition of Resilience, a women-led journey to Everest Base Camp featuring Gina Atkinson, along with Carly Jennifer Hudson, Michelle O'Dwyer, Thea Davies, and expedition lead Leela Bassi.

The expedition was much more than the physical challenge of reaching Base Camp. For the team, the journey stood as a profound reflection of emotional endurance, healing, and rediscovery. Each step through the Himalayas symbolised resilience forged through grief, burnout, trauma, hope, and the determination to rise despite personal battles.

Commenting on this, Sumit Saxena, Vice President, Marketing and PR, Clove Dental, said, “When we first learned about the expedition led by Leela Bassi and her team, we immediately recognised the depth of purpose behind their journey. Their resilience, courage, and emotional strength reflected the very values we champion at Clove Dental, restoring confidence, supporting healing, and standing beside individuals in their moments of vulnerability.”

“At Clove Dental, our vision has always revolved around dignity, confidence, and compassionate care. When Leela and her team embarked on this mission, we saw a reflection of the same courage and resilience that our women-led workforce demonstrates every day. To support this expedition was to stand with every woman who chooses healing, strength, and purpose in the face of adversity. Their journey to Everest Base Camp captured the essence of what we believe health truly means: the courage to keep going, even when the path is uncertain. We are proud to have been a part of this extraordinary mission,” said Amarinder Singh, CEO, Clove Dental.

Clove Dental’s involvement aligned with its mission to uphold dignity, confidence, and holistic well-being. With nearly 75% of its workforce comprising women, the organisation has consistently championed initiatives rooted in courage, empowerment, and the transformative impact of care.
