SFPI is committed to creating lasting impact across India.

It’s been nearly four decades since Shibu and I have consciously started investing our time and energy into causes that are close to our hearts.

I remember that day when I held Kusum & Namita for the first time in my arms. They were with their parents looking for a good school for their children.
I was in Kerala last week –a place very close to my heart, my home. I was invited to attend an event in a government school.
