This year, we also looked at our methodology very closely ensuring we keep the process transparent and proactively invite leaders of a diverse group to participate in the list. I am certain the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List will inspire a lot of new philanthropists towards strategic giving. Vidya Shah, Chairperson and CEO, EdelGive Foundation.

Twenty-eight philanthropists entered EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 for the first time. The top new additions in the list are S D Shibulal of Infosys with a donation of INR 32 crore, followed by Amit and Archana Chandra of A.T.E.

I hope the Hurun Philanthropy List can help people understand the mindset of some of Indias most successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists, as well as inspire future generations to give back.

Page 73 of 309.

The average age is 66, three years older than entrepreneurs on the Hurun India Rich List, and two years older than philanthropists on last years EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List.Methodology

To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed Indias most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross- referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.

Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.

Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaws donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.Disclaimer and Notices

Azim Premji Tops Edelgive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020, Followed By Shiv Nadar & Mukesh Ambani http://businessnewsthisweek.com/business/azim-premji-tops-edelgive-hurun-india-philanthropy-list-2020-followed-by-shiv- nadar-mukesh-ambani/

FacebookTwitter Hurun India and EdelGive today released the seventh edition of EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020. Azim Premji & family, the Founder-Chairman of Wipro topped the 2020 list, while Shiv Nadar, Founder- Chairman of HCL Technologies, ranked second; followed by richest Indian Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries at the third spot. The fourth spot was earned by Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group followed by Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta Group at the 5th spot.

The 2020 EdelGive Hurun Philanthropy List showcases 112 people, up 12% against the 2019 edition. Mumbai topped the preferred city of residence for top philanthropists with 36 names from the city being a part of this edition. Delhi and Bengaluru followed as second and third cities respectively. Education remained the biggest cause supported by the donors in India but mirroring Huruns Global Philanthropy List. Healthcare and water conversation witnessed a spike in donations compared to last year.

Reports of this nature are rare, but give us deep insight into the philanthropic sector and the patterns of giving that are ever-evolving. This year, we also looked at our methodology very closely ensuring we keep the process transparent and proactively invite leaders of a diverse group to participate in the list. I am certain the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List will inspire a lot of new philanthropists towards strategic giving. Vidya Shah, Chairperson and CEO, EdelGive Foundation.

Twenty-eight philanthropists entered EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 for the first time. The top new additions in the list are S D Shibulal of Infosys with a donation of INR 32 crore, followed by Amit and Archana Chandra of A.T.E. Chandra Foundation who donated INR 27 crore, and Shri Ram Beriwala & Shyam Sunder Beriwala of Shyam Steels who donated INR 19 crore.

Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher of Hurun India said: The preferred cause of Indias top philanthropists has been education, although poverty alleviation has grown dramatically to become the second most popular cause this year. I hope the Hurun Philanthropy List can help people understand the mindset of some of Indias most successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists, as well as inspire future generations to give back.

Rohini Nilekani, who donates through Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, is Indias most generous woman, followed by Anu Aga & family of Thermax. While Binny Bansal is the only philanthropist under the age of 40 to enter the philanthropy list.

EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List tracks donations measured by the value of their cash or cash equivalents from April 2019 to March 31, 2020. This years EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 features individuals who have donated INR 5 crore or more during the period under review.

The average age is 66, three years older than entrepreneurs on the Hurun India Rich List, and two years older than philanthropists on last years EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List.Methodology

To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed Indias most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross- referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.

Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.

Page 82 of 309.

Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaws donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.

The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

Premji, the 75-year-old former chairman of Wipro, donated Rs 7,904 crore.

Even though they are successful in the businesses they run, striving hard for the profit their companies earn and fighting bitter boardroom battles at times, India Inc has always helped society and made others benefit from their success.

Azim Premji, the 75-year-old former chairman of

Wipro has been the most generous philanthropist in India for 2020 with a donation of Rs 7,904 crore, as per Edelgive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 unveiled Tuesday.

Shiv Nadar, founder chairman of HCL Technologies was ranked second, followed Mukesh Ambani, chairman, Reliance Industries, Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of Aditya Birla Group, and Anil Agarwal, chairman, Vedanta Group. Among the lot, Birla debuted at the top 5 slot in this list and is the youngest among the top 10. Surprisingly, the list does not mention the Tata groups philanthropic activities during the period.

7 women found a place in the list with Rohini Nilekani (donating Rs 47 crore) being Indias most generous woman; followed by Anu Aga & family of Thermax (Rs 36 crore), and Biocon's Kiran Mazumdar Shaw (Rs 34 crore).

All for a cause

The preferred cause of India's top philanthropists over the past seven years has been education and 2020 was no different as most of the donations were made for this purpose. As per the findings, 90 philanthropists cumulatively donated Rs 9,324 crore for the cause.

With 84 donors, healthcare registered a 111 per cent increase in cumulative donation over 2019 at Rs 667 crore, followed by disaster relief & management, which had 41 donors, registering a cumulative donation of Rs 354 crore an increase of 240 per cent over 2019.

Education, we feel, is the best way to provide equality and gives a chance to people to earn more, live a better quality of life and have access to better healthcare. That apart, issues related to children are closer to our heart and education, in essence, delivers on that front, said Vidya Shah, chairperson and chief executive of EdelGive Foundation.

EdelGive Hurun India philanthropy list includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months between April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. For 2020, the list features individuals who have donated Rs 5 crore or more during the period under review. The cumulative CSR spend of BSE 200 companies, according to the report, has grown nearly 113 per cent - from Rs 5,561 crore in FY15 to Rs 11,881 crore in FY20.

New entrants

Twenty-eight philanthropists entered EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 for the first time. The top new additions included S D Shibulal of Infosys with a donation of Rs 32 crore, followed by Amit and Archana Chandra of A.T.E. Chandra Foundation (Rs 27 crore), and Ram Beriwala & Shyam Sunder Beriwala of Shyam Steels (Rs 19 crore).

The number of individuals who have donated over Rs 10 crore increased by 100 per cent over the last two years, from 37 to 78 this year, findings suggest.

Binny Bansal is the first philanthropist under the age of 40 to enter the philanthropy list. This is possibly one of the best news from the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020. I hope this will inspire more young wealth creators to not only donate but also to speak more about their donations, said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India.

The average age is 66, three years older than entrepreneurs on the Hurun India Rich List, and two years older than philanthropists on last years EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List.Methodology

To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed Indias most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross- referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, the Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.

Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.

Page 98 of 309.

Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68 per cent of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaws donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39 per cent of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.

The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

Mumbai, November 10, 2020: Hurun India and EdelGive today released the seventh edition of EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020. Azim Premji & family, the Founder-Chairman of Wipro topped the 2020 list, while Shiv Nadar, Founder-Chairman of HCL Technologies, ranked second; followed by richest Indian Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries at the third spot. The fourth spot was earned by Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group followed by Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta Group at the 5 spot.

The 2020 EdelGive Hurun Philanthropy List showcases 112 people, up 12% against the 2019 edition. Mumbai topped the preferred city of residence for top philanthropists with 36 names from the city being a part of this edition. Delhi and Bengaluru followed as second and third cities respectively. Education remained the biggest cause supported by the donors in India but mirroring Hurun's Global Philanthropy List. Healthcare and water conversation witnessed a spike in donations compared to last year.

Reports of this nature are rare, but give us deep insight into the philanthropic sector and the patterns of giving that are ever-evolving. This year, we also looked at our methodology very closely ensuring we keep the process transparent and proactively invite leaders of a diverse group to participate in the list. I am certain the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List will inspire a lot of new philanthropists towards strategic giving. Vidya Shah, Chairperson and CEO, EdelGive Foundation.

Twenty-eight philanthropists entered EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 for the first time. The top new additions in the list are S D Shibulal of Infosys with a donation of INR 32 crore, followed by Amit and Archana Chandra of A.T.E. Chandra Foundation who donated INR 27 crore, and Shri Ram Beriwala & Shyam Sunder Beriwala of Shyam Steels who donated INR 19 crore.

Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher of Hurun India said: The preferred cause of India's top philanthropists has been education, although poverty alleviation has grown dramatically to become the second most popular cause this year. I hope the Hurun Philanthropy List can help people understand the mindset of some of India's most successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists, as well as inspire future generations to give back.

Rohini Nilekani, who donates through Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, is India's most generous woman, followed by Anu Aga & family of Thermax. While Binny Bansal is the only philanthropist under the age of 40 to enter the philanthropy list.

EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List tracks donations measured by the value of their cash or cash equivalents from April 2019 to March 31, 2020. This year's EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 features individuals who have donated INR 5 crore or more during the period under review.

The average age is 66, three years older than entrepreneurs on the Hurun India Rich List, and two years older than philanthropists on last year's EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List.

Methodology

To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed India's most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross- referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.

Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.

Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaw's donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.

The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

Azim Premji Tops Philanthropy List With Rs 7,904 Crore In Donations https://importantnewshub.com/azim-premji-tops-philanthropy-list-with-rs-7904-crore-in-donations/

Azim Premji, the founder-chairman of Wipro, topped the list of philanthropists in India for 2020 with Rs 7,904 in donations.

He donated Rs 22 crore per day, according to EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020.

Azim Premji Endowment Fund owns 13.6 per cent of the promoter's shareholding in Wipro and has the right to receive all money earned from promoter shares. On 1 April 2020, Azim Premji Foundation (Rs 1,000 crore), Wipro (Rs 100 crore), and Wipro Enterprises (INR 25 crore) have committed INR 1,125 crore towards tackling the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. These are in addition to the annual CSR activities of Wipro, and the usual philanthropic spending of the Azim Premji Foundation, a press release by EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 reveals.

Azim Premji, 75, transformed Wipro from a company making vegetable oil to a diversified conglomerate. One of the richest men in India, he has donated a large part of his wealth to philanthropic causes.

After his father emerged as the most generous Indian for the year 2020, Rishad Premji took to Twitter to share something about his father's philosophy on wealth.

My father has always believed that he was a trustee of his wealth and never its owner, wrote Rishad Premji. Being part of the communities in which we live and work is also a core part of Wipro.

Last year, speaking to the graduating students of the Gujarat Vidyapith, Azim Premji had revealed that his thinking and actions on what he should do with his wealth were influenced by his mother and Mahatma Gandhi.

It was Mahatma Gandhi who, after my mother, most strongly influenced my thinking and actions on what I should do with the privilege of my wealth, Mr Premji had said.

The Mahatma's idea that the wealthy must be trustees of their wealth for the good of the people and the community, has resonated with me from much before I became wealthy, he said.

HCL Technologies founder chairman Shiv Nadar has been ranked second in the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 with donations of Rs 795 crore.

The third spot on the list was occupied by India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, with donations of Rs 458 crore.

To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to.

To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed Indias most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross-referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.

Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.

Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaws donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.

The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

This year's EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 features individuals who have donated INR 5 crore or more during the period under review.The average age is 66, three years older than entrepreneurs on the Hurun India Rich List, and two years older than philanthropists on last year's EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List.To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed India's most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross-referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 Page 149 of 309.

crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaw's donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

Business tycoon donated Rs 7,904 crore last year or approximately Rs 22 crore a day.

Azim Premji is Indias biggest, most generous giver. He donated Rs 7,904 crore last year or approximately Rs 22 crore a day to top the

EdelGive Hurun Philanthropy

List 2020 that was unveiled on Tuesday. Premji is followed by

Shiv Nadar (with Rs 795 crore) and Mukesh Ambani (Rs 458 crore). Mumbai, it seems, is home to the largest number of philanthropists in the country (36), followed by Delhi and Bangalore. Education remained the cause of choice to donate to, followed by healthcare.

India Inc has also opened its purse strings more than usual this year, by giving Rs 12,050 crore an increase of 175 per cent from last year.

The report, which reaches out to individual rather than company givers, features 112 philanthropists, up about 12 per cent since last year.

This year, the list tracks donations in cash or equivalent amounts of Rs 5 crore and above over the last financial year, and does not include any Covid-related giving.

Mumbai couple Archana and Amit Chandra, with their donations of Rs 27 crore through their ATE Foundation, were the first professionals (rather than promotors) to make the list, while former Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal, at 37, was the youngest philanthropist, giving Rs 5.3 crore. The list also included seven women, led by Rohini Nilekani, who gave Rs 47 crore.

Azim Premji and Mukesh Ambani, third on the list

Azim Premji and Mukesh Ambani, third on the list

Two Mumbai-based philanthropists debuted this time in the Top 10, including Kumar Mangalam Birla and the Hinduja brothers.

Data for individual philanthropy is not readily available, says Vidya Shah, chairperson and CEO of EdelGive Foundation.

We have to triangulate a lot to get a reasonable sense of giving in the country. As India moves towards becoming a middle-income country, the evolving patterns of giving provide clues to what are the issues that need tackling. This encourages more strategic giving by philanthropists. Shah adds that the list is also aspirational.

I believe that the people on this list truly want to participate in the making of a more just and equal society. Th report acknowledges strategic giving that is already happening, and can be a guiding light for those who want to give.

Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher of Hurun India, says: In India, where philanthropy is kept a secret, this recognises donations and gets future generations active. It also helps philanthropists align their causes and start discussions about giving. He adds: IT shows the more responsible side of wealth creation. Indeed, he believes that if every high networth individual in India who is engaged in giving agreed to be a part of the list, it would have at least 300 to 500 people.

"My father has always believed that he was a trustee of his wealth and never its owner," wrote Rishad Premji. "Being part of the communities in which we live and work is also a core part of Wipro."

Last year, speaking to the graduating students of the Gujarat Vidyapith, Azim Premji had revealed that his thinking and actions on what he should do with his wealth were influenced by his mother and Mahatma Gandhi.

"It was Mahatma Gandhi who, after my mother, most strongly influenced my thinking and actions on what I should do with the privilege of my wealth," Mr Premji had said.

"The Mahatma's idea that the wealthy must be trustees of their wealth for the good of the people and the community, has resonated with me from much before I became wealthy," he said.

HCL Technologies founder chairman Shiv Nadar has been ranked second in the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 with donations of 795 crore.

The third spot on the list was occupied by India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, with donations of 458 crore. Click for more trending news

EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List tracks donations measured by the value of their cash or cash equivalents from April 2019 to March 31, 2020. This years EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 features individuals who have donated INR 5 crore or more during the period under review.

The average age is 66, three years older than entrepreneurs on the Hurun India Rich List, and two years older than philanthropists on last years EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List.

Methodology

To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed Indias most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross- referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.

Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.

Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaws donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.

The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

Importantly, Bansal was the only leader from the startup ecosystem to make it to the years list. Binny Bansal is the first philanthropist under the age of 40 to enter the philanthropy list. This is possibly one of the best news from the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020. I hope this will inspire more young wealth creators to not only donate but also to speak more about their donations, said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India.

Bansal who launched Flipkart along with Sachin Bansal back in 2007 had to quit the company in November 2018 after allegations of sexual misconduct even as Bansal had strongly denied them. The resignation came months after Walmart had announced the acquisition of a 77 per cent stake in Flipkart for $16 billion. Around a month after stepping down from Flipkart as its CEO, Bansal had launched xto10x Technologies that help startups with scaling capabilities across multiple areas including business design, leadership, customer experience, branding, product growth, work culture and more. It has worked with over 80 companies including Capillary, Vedantu, Razorpay, Zoomcar, and more. According to Crunchbase, Bansal had also made 38 investments into various startups as an investor.

Azim Premji donated Rs 7,904 crore last year, pushing him to the top of India's philanthropists list for 2019. He is also the worlds third largest donor for Covid relief efforts.

New Delhi : Former Wipro chairman Azim Premji topped the list of Indian philanthropists for the financial year 2019-20, with donations of Rs 7,904 crore, or Rs 22 crore daily, according to EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020.

HCL Technologies Shiv Nadar, and Reliance Industries Ltd chairman Mukesh Ambani, Indias richest man, followed him on the list.

On Wednesday, Premjis son, Rishad, who is now the chairman of Wipro, said in a tweet, My father has always believed that he was a trustee of his wealth and never its owner. Being part of the communities in which we live and work is also a core part of Wipro (sic).

Heres a look at the 75-year-olds philanthropic works.

Azim Premji was 21 when he took charge of Wipro after the demise of his father. The company was then involved in hydrogenated oil manufacturing. But in the early 1980s, Premji pivoted to the technology sector by manufacturing computer hardware and software.

As the company rode the IT wave in India, his philanthropic work began in 2000 with government schools in rural areas, focussing on the elementary education systems.

In 2001, the Azim Premji Foundation was officially registered. The foundation began by implementing various programmes to improve the quality of education in the country. For long-term impact, it started collaborating with local government structures and set up district institutes in several field locations.

At present, it has institutes in over 40 districts across Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Puducherry.

The foundation has collaborated with several state governments across the country focussing on curriculum reform, school textbook development, capacity development of teachers and education functionaries.

The ex-Wipro chairman also started Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives, which works with vulnerable groups aiming to facilitate a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. Its focus is on poor communities facing everyday discrimination, prejudice and economic and social deprivation.

Its efforts include working with adolescent girls who drop out of school and are married off before the age of 18. The body conducts counselling and peer interaction for these girls, imparts life skills and knowledge about reproductive rights, and encourages them to stay in school.

The initiative also works with homeless persons, small and marginal farmers, persons with disabilities, street children and survivors of domestic violence.

Vedanta chairman Anil Agarwal has been ranked among the top philanthropists in the country, according to the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020.

Agarwals contribution this year has risen by 90 per cent compared to the previous year and has ranked him among the top five philanthropists in India, said the report.

Vedanta has contributed more than the government-mandated 2 per cent towards corporate social responsibility, it said.

The report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Vedanta has been at the forefront of the fight against Covid-19 and contributed Rs 101 crore to the PM-CARES Fund. The company also created a special corpus of Rs 100 crore for Covid-related initiatives to support daily wage earners and local communities.

In line with his philosophy of Giving Back, Agarwal has pledged 75 per cent of his wealth for social good. He has created the philanthropic arm of the Group - The Vedanta Foundation - with a deep-seated belief that businesses must give back to the society and help people prosper.

Even though they are successful in the businesses they run, striving hard for the profit their companies earn and fighting bitter boardroom battles at times, India Inc has always helped society and made others benefit from their success.

Azim Premji, the 75-year-old former chairman of Wipro has been the most generous philanthropist in India for 2020 with a donation of Rs 7,904 crore, as per Edelgive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 unveiled Tuesday.

Shiv Nadar, founder chairman of HCL Technologies was ranked second, followed Mukesh Ambani, chairman, Reliance Industries, Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of Aditya Birla Group, and Anil Agarwal, chairman, Vedanta Group. Among the lot, Birla debuted at the top 5 slot in this list and is the youngest among the top 10. Surprisingly, the list does not mention the Tata groups philanthropic activities during the period.

7 women found a place in the list with Rohini Nilekani (donating Rs 47 crore) being Indias most generous woman; followed by Anu Aga & family of Thermax (Rs 36 crore), and Biocon's Kiran Mazumdar Shaw (Rs 34 crore).

The preferred cause of India's top philanthropists over the past seven years has been education and 2020 was no different as most of the donations were made for this purpose. As per the findings, 90 philanthropists cumulatively donated Rs 9,324 crore for the cause.

With 84 donors, healthcare registered a 111 per cent increase in cumulative donation over 2019 at Rs 667 crore, followed by disaster relief & management, which had 41 donors, registering a cumulative donation of Rs 354 crore an increase of 240 per cent over 2019.

Education, we feel, is the best way to provide equality and gives a chance to people to earn more, live a better quality of life and have access to better healthcare. That apart, issues related to children are closer to our heart and education, in essence, delivers on that front,"said Vidya Shah, chairperson and chief executive of EdelGive Foundation.

EdelGive Hurun India philanthropy list includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months between April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. For 2020, the list features individuals who have donated Rs 5 crore or more during the period under review. The cumulative CSR spend of BSE 200 companies, according to the report, has grown nearly 113 per cent - from Rs 5,561 crore in FY15 to Rs 11,881 crore in FY20.

Twenty-eight philanthropists entered EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 for the first time. The top new additions included S D Shibulal of Infosys with a donation of Rs 32 crore, followed by Amit and Archana Chandra of A.T.E. Chandra Foundation (Rs 27 crore), and Ram Beriwala & Shyam Sunder Beriwala of Shyam Steels (Rs 19 crore).

The number of individuals who have donated over Rs 10 crore increased by 100 per cent over the last two years, from 37 to 78 this year, findings suggest.

Binny Bansal is the first philanthropist under the age of 40 to enter the philanthropy list. This is possibly one of the best news from the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020. I hope this will inspire more young wealth creators to not only donate but also to speak more about their donations,"said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India.

Rohini Nilekani

Rohini Nilekani, who donates through Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, is India's most generous woman, followed by Anu Aga & family of Thermax. While Binny Bansal is the only philanthropist under the age of 40 to enter the philanthropy list.

EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List tracks donations measured by the value of their cash or cash equivalents from April 2019 to March 31, 2020. This year's EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2020 features individuals who have donated INR 5 crore or more during the period under review.

The average age is 66, three years older than entrepreneurs on the Hurun India Rich List, and two years older than philanthropists on last year's EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List.

Methodology

To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we believe at Hurun Report that, the EdelGive Hurun India

Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed India's most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2020, meticulously cross-referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.

Page 292 of 309.

Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since most of the PM Care Fund donations were announced after the cutoff date, the same is not considered for arriving at the total donation unless it is mentioned in FY 20 CSR spend in the annual report of the respective companies.

Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaw's donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which has been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.

The list includes the only individual born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.
