Your SVP India experience

"I joined SVP in November 2019. I felt that any philanthropic journey needs to go beyond giving money, so that I can contribute firsthand to the change I would like to see. Towards that end, all the years of my corporate experience have been brought to the fore, while interacting with the NGOs we support - be it in supporting them on their financials, or their communication strategy, or their strategic issues, or helping them navigate the legal landscape. It is humbling to see how small inputs have such a big impact and we can see change happening in front of our eyes. I really think SVP is a perfect forum for anybody who wants to have a hands-on approach to philanthropy."
