At Our Chapter
The Mumbai Chapter of SVP India continues to grow at a dynamic pace, and currently, we have over a hundred involved partners, each giving their time and skills to support our portfolio of more than 10 NGOs.
In November 2022, the Chapter played host to SVP partners from across India in a 2 day event that brought people together for the first time since the pandemic. The event featured workshops, panel discussions, and seminars, all designed to help partners on their philanthropic journey. It was a charged 48 hours of celebration, connection, and inspiration.
With the addition of so many new partners in the Chapter, we are looking to add new NGOs to our portfolio, and so our Grants Committee is hard at work, evaluating new non-profits that will be a good fit for the Mumbai Chapter of SVP India.

I was the first to become a partner when Govind Iyer opened the chapter here in Mumbai. While I had worked for years in this sector before joining SVP, it was at SVP that I gained a much broader philanthropic perspective. SVP is a community, a family, and a place to learn, expand and discover.

I stumbled upon SVP as I was embarking on my journey of philanthropy. Antarang Foundation, the nonprofit organization I worked closely with, fits well with the theme of helping people perform to their potential. Now I have 2 Antarang alumni working with me as podcast editors.

In simple terms, my annual giving has increased by over 7x after joining SVP. My empathy and generosity quotients have transformed positively and substantially. I have become more acutely aware of NGOs’ challenges and feel like the least I can do is help them financially.

There is a budding philanthropist in most of us. SVP helps us to start contributing in some way and provides a shared vision, access to a network, and role models to do more and do it better. Being part of a group with the right intent and strong capabilities motivates and makes it fun!
