AVPN India and leading law firm Nishith Desai Associates are planning a dialogue between leading industrialists from India and global experts and philanthropists to discuss their own journeys in philanthropy.
Asia has a huge opportunity in front of it to change the world through social investment and venture philanthropy. India with its numerous social challenges and growing wealth needs to be a role model in terms of establishing venture philanthropy for the rest of Asia. Indian Industry captains are well poised to lead this effort due to their ability to create large scale social impact. The audience for the event comprises senior leaders from Indian industry, Private Equity and leading business families.
We will also be honoured to have Nobel Prize winner Prof. Yunus share his experience of creating a vibrant social business in the form of Grameen Bank which has led to the formation of the microfinance industry. The goal is to share experiences of role models in venture philanthropy not just in India but in Asia and the rest of the world.
The event is slated for March 14, 2015 at Taj Lands End Hotel in Bandra, Mumbai, and we hope that you can join this gathering and share your own experiences.
