We're delighted to share that this year, we celebrate 25 years of Dasra being in service of anchoring transformative impact in India. This journey has been one of recognizing the deep inequities that live among us, by making visible the invisible and bridging these vast divides. It has been about sparking determination, not pity. It has been about challenging the status quo, the courage to take paths less travelled and the willingness to immerse in the shared truths of our vulnerabilities. It has been about making philanthropy work for communities, not for privilege. It has called for nurturing trust and radical kindness; the empathy to explore possibilities and the humility to accept these in our oneness. This journey has been about a fierce ambition to be uncompromising, to satiate the hunger for learning and to have the audacity to amplify the most vulnerable of voices. It has required perseverance, empathy, and gusto: true moral courage for sustenance. It has for us inspired leadership that adjusts the sails to catch the wind to imagine possibilities in pursuit of a higher purpose, bigger than ourselves but that together is surmountable. For us, it has been a journey of combining the power of the mind and the courage of the heart to tackle large-scale inequities. As we look forward, we remain committed to our vision of transforming India anchored around our ethos of empowering communities to "thrive through equity". It seems like a long journey thus far, but for us, the journey has just begun. #thrivethroughequity #ABillionThriving #Dasraat25 Neera Nundy Deval Sanghavi Shailja Mehta Jyotirmoy Chatterji Ninad Ankleshwaria Parnasha Banerjee Dinella Oliveira

Our WomenLead India alliance partner,EquiLead hosted their first annual conference, “Lead with Equity,” today. It was a day packed with exciting panel discussions and valuable insights on the theme of building pathways for women in leadership. Yamini Atmavilas, our Gender Equity Portfolio Lead, shared her expertise during the discussion on ‘Diversifying Boards in the Social Impact Sector.’ She highlighted: 1. Data and its progressive tracking as a critical piece of the puzzle needed to diversify boards. 2. The importance of priming institutions to make changes for board diversification, alongside empowering individuals. 3.The need to utilize boards for advocating and building salience for the need of diverse leadership. At Dasra, we strive to accelerate gender equity in India by catalyzing women and girls' leadership across sectors. We do this through evidence building, narrative change, and collaborative action involving businesses, philanthropy, and the development sector. #EquiLeadAnnualConference #Leadership #WomenEmpowerment #InspireInclusion #LeadWithEquity #InclusiveWorkplace #Womeninleadership #ThrivethroughEquity
