He was titled and appreciated as “CORONA Warrior” by the association. As a part of its Group’s Social Commitment Scheme, Aries distributed masks to Kerala Police to keep them safe during the COVID emergency in the state.

His immediate announcement as soon as the pandemic hit, was to provide 10 ventilators to 10 districts. His other statement was “Support a Family” drive to support 2000 needy families, where he had asked each of the company’s employees to try and help one poor family and take up their responsibility during this crisis period. This campaign was launched considering the hardships daily wagers have to endure during this lockdown period. His 9000sq. Ft house at Desamangalam, Kerala, was also set aside for getting it converted to isolation wards by the state. Apart from delivering 1000 masks, the group has also promised to provide monetary back up to fund the in house masks made by the battalion.
