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 (Public-Private-Partnership Model) 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.
