Our philanthropy

WestBridge has invested in philanthropic projects since 2016. We are cause-agnostic, but strive to collaborate with partners who tackle systemic issues and deliver impact on the ground in India. We’ve directed recent giving to social impact projects across 12 states, addressing development needs in humanitarian services, social justice, the environment and education.

We believe that sustainable change comes with committed, long-term grantmaking and we’re dedicated to building an active philanthropic ecosystem. Our matching grants and volunteer program encourage people and institutions within the WestBridge family to start their journey of giving back by engaging with issues that they feel strongly about.

Our partners

Our partners are resilient organizations with the deep expertise to deliver effective, impact-oriented solutions. Their work has significantly contributed to urgent COVID-19 relief efforts across India, improved access to quality education, ecological restoration and the rehabilitation of children rescued from exploitation.

With one eye on solving today’s problems our partners are committed to uplifting India’s next generation.
