Because we believe #impact is everybody's business, we have spent the last #15YearsOfSattva making businesses self-sufficient to achieve lasting, sustainable impact. The Future Forward Skills Mission was a multi-donor partnership initiated by UKIBC, anchored by Tata Trusts, and managed by Sattva Consulting. It aimed to encourage businesses to utilise their #corporatesocialresponsibility resources for #skilldevelopment, and catalyse market-based employability solutions that addressed the aspirations of India's workforce and make them future-ready. The Mission also set out to provide expert guidance and mentorship to select organisations, as well as independent monitoring and evaluation support.

I’ve recently been tuning into some thought-provoking conversations, and the episode of the WTF Podcast featuring Nandan Nilekani has been an eye-opener! His insights on technology, governance, and the future of India’s digital landscape are truly inspiring. Nandan Nilekani is an Indian entrepreneur, co-founder of Infosys, and the architect of Aadhaar, the world's largest biometric ID system. After graduating from IIT Bombay, he co-founded Infosys in 1981 and served as its CEO from 2002-2007, helping it grow into a global IT leader. In 2009, he led the UIDAI to implement Aadhaar, transforming India's digital landscape. He briefly entered politics in 2014, contesting elections with the Indian National Congress, and returned to Infosys as Chairman in 2017. He is also a philanthropist and author of "Imagining India." The way he connects technological innovation with solving large-scale societal problems is something we can all learn from. It's amazing to hear from someone who's played such a pivotal role in shaping the digital infrastructure of India through initiatives like Aadhaar. If you're interested in technology, governance, or just love hearing from forward-thinkers, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen! 🎧 #NandanNilekani #DigitalIndia #Innovation #Technology #Leadership #WTFPodcast

🌍 Kickstarting a Sustainable Future: The Role of CSR in Modern Business 🌱 As businesses grow, so does their responsibility towards society. CSR has evolved from voluntary acts of charity into a key driver of business strategy, impacting everything from brand reputation to financial performance. 📊 In 2022, 90% of S&P 500 companies published sustainability reports, a huge leap from 20% in 2011, showing the growing importance of transparency and accountability. In India, CSR is more than a legal requirement—it’s a legacy, deeply rooted in ancient values of giving back to society. From Tata Group’s century-long commitment to Infosys Foundation’s work in education and rural development, there are countless stories of how corporate philanthropy is shaping communities. 💪 But it’s not enough to just spend—CSR needs to be strategic, transparent, and impactful. The future of CSR lies in aligning with national priorities like healthcare, education, and sustainability. Ready to make CSR a strategic advantage?

Perfect click at office today with the backdrop of a sunset. Analogy I will be using here is that we are at the fag end of a excellent 2024 as we welcome a wonderful 2025. Its true when some say that its just change in the Year(a mere number) but nothing else. However, its the other way round for many. At the beginning of every New Year, its common to come up with New Year Resolutions but yes, the year that passes is not a mere year but an entire journey of learning and experiences to make them even better in the coming new year. Amidst the hustle & bustle almost every day, the year has been a mad crazy ride giving no time to look back but only a way ahead on what's more to achieve. I love the turbulent ride full of miracles and milestones achieved and yet to be achieved. Moving from Cloud & Infrastructure Services to MS Practice itself has been a big shift for me and I am loving the new challenges. Infosys Hyderabad DC began this year by winning the first ever #InfyTribe Cricket Tournament Championship. Also, Infosys Hyderabad DC hosted the first ever #InfyTribe Football Tournament too. Also, had an opportunity to be part of the TEDxHyderabad organizing team this year along with an amazing group. We closed this year with #INFYusion2024 which also put Infosys Hyderabad in the top 5 which means we have a healthy race to fight for the top spot in the coming years. In terms of CSR, Infosys has set a benchmark by creating a record of 200000+ Seedballs across 20 DC's in a single day. At Hyderabad itself, we supported 32000+ beneficiaries across various activities in 52 weeks and 100 events in the year. Our biggest achievement is distributing 500 Infosys Springboard setup tabs distributed across Telangana state within 4 weeks supporting 7750 beneficiaries. Receiving the award on behalf of my organization from the Governor of Telangana - "Corporate Excellence in CSR".(Thanks to Grace Cancer Foundation), Nirmaan Organization for the bold initiatives that we have taken up this year, The Rainwater Project for the successes we have been seeing in the stepwell renovation space, Invisible Scars Foundation - another prestigious project that began this year, #BlueCrossOfHyderabad - We venture again into Animal Welfare post pandemic, United Way of Hyderabad - Rural Medical Infrastructure support and the list is endless. I know I am ending the year on the highest of the high's while I also know that I and we have a long way to go to create larger impacts on the society as a whole which eventually means we will again start on a blank page from the ground. Immensely grateful to all my leaders who have been extremely supportive - Manisha Saboo Vidyasagar Pavoor Raghu Boddupally Shaji Mathew Sushanth Tharappan Raghavendra Kadkol Shashi Dhar Reddy Pranab Bhardwaj Ravi Appayya Suresh Narra Padmaja Ramani Ramu Narla Karunamoy Kondru Ram Prasad Vadde Venkata Subrahmanyam Ravinuthala Vani V.

As the patriarch of the Salt-to-Software conglomerate, Mr. Ratan Tata departs for his heavenly abode, leaving behind an unparalleled legacy of business, innovation, and philanthropy. His strategic brilliance, business acumen, and tenacity transformed the industrial landscape, and his impact will be remembered by the world for generations to come. The Tata family has been a cornerstone of Indian society, dedicating the majority of their wealth to charity and pioneering the establishment of the country's first major 📌 Steel Plant, Car Manufacturing Company, Power Plant, Cancer Hospital, Software Company, Airline Company and 5 star hotel. Let's look into how Mr Tata's philanthropic measures and proclivity towards giving back to the different sections of society has transcended him from just being a Business Leader to a true "BHARAT RATNA". 📌 HEALTHCARE: Tata Memorial Hospital: Tata Memorial Cancer Centre, Mumbai, India is one of India’s leading cancer treatment and research centers, it offers free cancer treatment to 70% of its patients and provides free checkups for all pediatric cancer patients, with the Indian Cancer Society supplying medicines to support their care. 📌 EDUCATION: Tata's have been instrumental in funding and establishing leading educational institutions like Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) along with scholarships to students both in India & abroad in institutes like Harvard and Cornell. 📌 WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND CHILD WELFARE: Tata Trusts have been actively supporting various self-help groups (SHGs), scholarships, healthcare projects, and educational initiatives for girls through programs like the "Sakhi Programme," which promotes entrepreneurship, higher education, and financial independence for rural women. Additionally, "Tata STRIVE" focuses on skill development through vocational training, helping individuals secure employment in sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, and manufacturing. 📌 SENIOR CITIZEN WELFARE INITIATIVES: Tata Trusts have been deeply engaged in supporting elderly care through various initiatives, including healthcare programs for cataract surgeries, geriatric care centers, and assistance for diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia. They have also invested in startups like "Goodfellows India" which fosters meaningful companionship for seniors by connecting them with young fellows. Even though Mr. Tata didn't have a flamboyant lifestyle, he had a profound love for cars, dogs and planes. Om Shanti! #ratantata #philanthrophy #womenempowerment #tatagroup #research #csr #investment
