India
India’s ambition to scale from a USD 3.1 trillion to a USD 5 trillion economy brings with it an equal number of challenges and opportunities. With more than half of its population under 30, it faces the task of ensuring equitable growth by providing access to quality education, healthcare, skilling, and job opportunities, especially for women and children. It must also strike a balance between its development priorities and protecting its bountiful biodiversity.
We believe the private sector has a vital role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We collaborate with major corporates and business associations to drive transformative change at scale, including co-creating innovative programmes, raising the profile of key issues, and identifying meaningful opportunities for volunteers and networks to engage.
