The why and the how

"The pandemic has signified the need for the reinvention of Indian philanthropy, focused on flexible and quick funding through creative approaches. The focus on family giving is an important part of the journey towards a more empathetic and generous society. GivingPi will be pivotal in building this long-term change through collaboration rooted in trust, co-creation and mutual learning.”

Rohini Nilekani Chairperson, Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies

“As funders, we need to keep refining our giving journeys. GivingPi has an audacious vision to enable that by providing opportunities to learn from one another and build a stronger nation together.”

Tara Singh Vachani Vice President, Max India Ltd.

“It is the need of the hour to grow India’s giving pie and we are on this journey together to accelerate and bring in the change that we wish to see. It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of the Founders Circle of GivingPi that aims to build an inclusive nation.”

Rajan Navani Founder & CEO, JetSynthesys Pvt. Ltd.

“With the coalition of GivingPi's luminaries, our vision to fortify our belief that the future of philanthropy has to be designed intelligently is coming to fruition. The pandemic bore witness to the urgency on why we need to develop more efficient ways of collaboration, Giving Pi will be critical to these efforts.”
