The Keynote Address at #IFRC2026 by Aditya Natraj, CEO, Piramal Foundation, set a powerful tone for the conference, offering deep reflections on fundraising leadership, systems change, and building impact that lasts. Tracing India’s fundraising roots back to Mahatma Gandhi, Aditya explored the evolution of nonprofits — from innovators and demonstrators to scalers and category definers — and the leadership shifts required at each stage of growth. He emphasised that meaningful change is rarely linear and demands patience, partnership, and long-term investments in people and processes. At its core, the address highlights that true fundraising transformation begins with the inner game — a mindset shift that reshapes how donors perceive, trust, and commit to organisations. Recorded at the India Fundraising Conference (IFRC) 2026.

Systems are made to do exactly what they are built for. If a system is built to oppress, it is not “broken” and cannot be fixed. It must be dismantled and a new system, not based on hierarchies of human value, must be built.

Transitioning entire societies towards more sustainable, long-term futures is what Thomas Berry called the ‘great work’ of the 21st century. It will involve ongoing system change over long horizons of time. And it will challenge us to develop a deep understanding of complex systems, their anatomy and dynamics. Which will require new knowledge and skillsets, new mindsets and postures, which will give rise to new ways of designing.
