ABOUT US
The Centre for Asian Philanthropy India (CAPI) was established in 2020.

Our mission is to enhance the quantity and quality of philanthropic giving and other forms of social investment in India.

We contribute to the development of the private social investment sector in India by conducting and sharing research, models and strategies that create positive societal change.

We also facilitate the sharing of best practices from the social sector between India and the wider Asian region.

CAPI is incorporated as a non-profit company under Section 8 of the Companies Act in Mumbai. CAPI's logo contains a mandala, (Sanskrit for circle), representative of deeper thought. It is an artistic tool for meditative practices in pursuit of a higher awakening or enlightenment. Please see for more information.


OUR WORK


We are a knowledge-first organization that generates evidence-based insights on the role individuals, companies and government can play in addressing social challenges.

We work with a large network of local partners and philanthropists in India and beyond.

We endeavor to convey best practices and insights from external collaborators across Asia that can be leveraged by Indian actors in the social impact space, and vice versa.


We also convene stakeholders around the ideas CAPI and our collaborators generate to create opportunities to share and leverage cross-sectoral learnings.
