Experience an environment of high diversity where people from different backgrounds, cultures and domains of expertise are united by a common purpose.

Indulge in a culture of learning reading, reflecting and engaging with ideas in education and development.

We believe building knowledge through research is critical, but this must be deeply rooted in practical ground realities for applicability. We provide the opportunity to apply theoretical principles in the practical testbed.

Working on the ground is a value for us we also believe in theorizing the practices. Creating knowledge out of work is something our members live day in and day out.

• Strong belief in constitutional values

• Deep commitment towards social change

• Being analytical and rational

Philanthropy

At the Philanthropy, we make multi-year grants to not-for-profit organizations who work with the most vulnerable in our society. Through such support, people who are deeply disadvantaged and marginalized are offered immediate care, access to essential services, and the possibility of a dignified future.

Our teams in each area focus on developing an understanding of the issues and building partnerships towards a common set of goals. We systematically engage with our partner organizations and communities to reflect and learn, with an aim to improve the lives of these communities.
