As entrepreneurs we are passionate about changing the world ever so slightly for the better. Philanthropy gives us an avenue to do so for sectors that may not have profitable business models yet but can deliver critical impact. Further I believe giving is a philosophy of life that needs to be stage agnostic. I am thankful to Founders Pledge for getting me started early in the journey and to mentors like Nandan and Rohini Nilekani for inspiring me.
