On 6th November 2025, the India Philanthropy Forum in London will gather philanthropists, foundation heads, sector experts, civil society actors, and next-generation changemakers to explore how giving can drive solutions to some of India’s most urgent challenges. At a moment when societies everywhere are grappling with questions of equity, resilience, and trust, the Forum will ask how philanthropy can build institutions that last, forge collaborations that transcend borders, and create narratives that inspire empathy and collective action.

The discussions will focus on pivotal themes that are reshaping philanthropy and the world around us, from advancing mental health and well-being as a cornerstone of social progress to deepening recognition, dignity, and opportunities for LGBTQIA+ communities; from mobilizing regional and cross-border collaboration for scaled impact to examining the role of responsible business in deepening philanthropy’s reach. The Forum will also highlight the power of storytelling to move beyond statistics and strategies, anchoring trust and enabling new forms of solidarity.

By placing these themes at the center, IPF London 2025 will not only showcase India’s growing global relevance but also underline the transformative potential of philanthropy when it moves from fragmented intent to shared, systemic action. It will be a space to reimagine what is possible when diverse voices come together with a shared purpose: to build inclusive, resilient, and just futures for generations to come.

For 25 years, Dasra’s journey has been shaped by those who give and those who are committed to creating change. In this series, we sit down with changemakers who have dedicated their lives to India’s development story—leaders, doers, and dreamers who refuse to accept the status quo.

Through raw, unfiltered conversations, they reveal the struggles, the turning points, and the hope that fuels their work. These are moments of truth, resilience, and purpose - captured like never before.

Watch, reflect, and draw inspiration from those who refuse to give up.

Because change doesn’t just happen – it takes place one step at a time – by those who dare to try.
