Beyond Capital: Leadership, Philanthropy & Building Institutions for Impact | IFRC 2026
What does it truly take to drive large-scale, long-term social change? At the Opening Plenary of #IFRC2026, Ajay Piramal, Chairman, Piramal Group, and Amit Chandra, Co-founder, A.T.E. Chandra Foundation (ATECF), reflect deeply on the evolving role of philanthropy, leadership, and institution-building in India’s social sector. The conversation moves beyond funding to examine the deeper levers of impact: organisational capacity, leadership transformation, collaboration, governance, and staying rooted in on-ground realities. This plenary offers rare insights for funders, SPO leaders, board members, and ecosystem builders committed to shaping a stronger, more resilient social sector in India.
