Most pledges received to learn CPR in one month

The most pledges received to learn CPR in one month is 61,221 and was achieved by Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd (India) in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, on 28 September 2026.

Apollo Hospitals is one of India's biggest private chain of hospitals. They are now present in every major city in India and provide quality health care. The record was organized by Apollo's Navi Mumbai Hospital, whose team of paramedics fanned out across schools, colleges and residential communities, armed with CPR dummies and a determination to make life-saving knowledge accessible to all.

Classrooms were transformed into training grounds as students watched paramedics demonstrate the chest compression technique before having a go themselves. Pledge forms were signed, videos were taken, and thousands of young people left knowing something genuinely useful. The record was officially confirmed at a ceremony attended by Apollo group director Mrs Preetha Reddy and Bollywood actress Karishma Kapoor.

Guinness World Records Senior Adjudicator Swapnil Dangarikar was clearly moved by the occasion. "The cause is bigger than just a record here," he noted. "Today's generation is learning important skills like CPR early in their lives. That's a positive growth trend for society."

Apollo described the campaign as entirely in keeping with their broader mission, promising further CPR awareness drives across India.
