Impact that reaches further and lasts longer.

CSR has evolved from Strategic to Catalytic, going from enabling a business to achieve the maximum economic and social potential of every unit of funds spent, to bringing about long term, sustainable, fundamental social transformation. However, great change can only be accomplished through large scale collaborations and networks.

At Samhita, we believe fixing this will require more than one-off interventions. It requires collaboration and a continuum of opportunities that support people at every step.

Over the past 15 years, we’ve evolved to become one of India’s most trusted prosperity accelerators. In the last 5 years alone, we’ve supported 1.03 million individuals through integrated access to skilling, credit, market linkages, and social protection. We’re creating pathways that are not just impactful, but enduring.
