Foundation

Piramal Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Piramal Group, is a Section 8 company that develops innovative solutions to resolve issues that are critical roadblocks towards unlocking India's economic potential.

The Foundation believes that bringing impact at scale across diverse geographies and communities can be achieved through partnerships with governments and like-minded organisations. Therefore, all of its projects are in conjunction with state and central governments, like-minded philanthropists, corporates, donors, NGOs and social delivery organisations.

In line with the Millennium Development Goals, Piramal Foundation is committed towards improving primary healthcare & nutrition, primary education and enabling access to safe drinking water.

Each social initiative nurtured by Piramal Foundation, addresses one of the three focus areas that include -

• Primary Healthcare & Nutrition - Piramal Swasthya
• Education Leadership and Youth Empowerment - Piramal School of Leadership
• Safe Drinking Water - Piramal Sarvajal

The Foundation's initiatives are a reflection of the Group's core values and corporate philosophy of 'Doing Well and Doing Good'.
