India Philanthropy Report 2023 - Private Philanthropy is Beginning to Reimagine a Resilient Future for India
In its 13th edition, India Philanthropy Report 2023, co-created by Bain & Company and Dasra, focuses on the different funder archetypes - CSR, Retail Givers, UHNIs, HNI & Affluent Givers, their deeply correlated roles, factors and barriers influencing different cohorts of givers and actionable insights into specific enablers that can make philanthropy more effective. The report double clicks on family philanthropy and highlights the giving behaviours across two key emerging cohorts - Now-Generation (Now-Gen), which comprises professionals and entrepreneurs who are first-generation wealth creators and Inter-Generational givers (Inter-Gen), which comprises the current generation of traditional family philanthropists, spotlighting their high potential as a segment of disruptive givers and early responders in private philanthropy. |

Workers in Visibility | Voices from the ground
During the pandemic, India witnessed the extreme vulnerability and painful exodus of its informal and migrant workforce from the largest cities as they were left without shelter, money, jobs, transport or food. This forced us to acknowledge the long-existing fault lines that led to a human crisis of such a scale, leading to an uncommon convergence of stakeholder groups that had hitherto been unlikely partners. Building on that momentum driven by compassion, this series and microsite are envisaged as a repository on all key players and initiatives working in this space. |
