Ten years ago, India’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandate was introduced, making it compulsory for all companies above a certain turnover and profit level to spend a minimum of 2% of their average net profit into the social impact space. This legal obligation has brought a significant shift in the landscape of CSR in India. There has been a growing commitment among corporations to fulfil their CSR obligations and many companies are moving towards a more systematic approach to social development.

Based on their engagement with leading CSR spenders in India, Somedutta Chatterjee from Give India will talk about the effect of the last decade as well as how the next 10 years look like for the CSR ecosystem.
