My Journey at SVP
Partner since 2014
“I was the first person who signed up to become a partner when Govind Iyer opened the chapter here in Mumbai. While I had worked for years in this sector prior to joining SVP, it was at SVP that I gained a much broader philanthropic perspective. In the past couple of years, our community has grown to include so many committed people from different walks of life. It has been a pleasure to interact with such a diverse group that is unified by the common objective of working for a better society.”
