Give Grants launches dus spoke India Inc 2025, spotlighting CSR’s pivotal role in shaping India’s development future

Bengaluru, June 25, 2025 Give Grants today announced the launch of dus spoke India Inc 2025, its latest report capturing the current state of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India and offering a roadmap for the future. The report brings together perspectives from 47 CSR leaders and 78 nonprofit heads, alongside a detailed analysis of CSR data from India’s top 200 companies.

The participating CSR leaders collectively manage over INR 6,800 crore in CSR funds annually. Combining practitioner insights with granular data, dus spoke India Inc 2025 explores how CSR has evolved from compliance-driven philanthropy to a potential catalyst for systemic change — and what will be needed for it to fully realise that potential.

Key highlights of the report include:

At 1.2 lakh crore, CSR will be the largest stable source of private funding for India’s development needs in the coming decade- As India Inc continues to outperform most global markets, India’s CSR is poised for high growth. It is likely to be the largest source of funding, outstripping philanthropy and individual giving.

Geographic disparity persists because industrial growth is disparate – Funds remain concentrated in a few industrialised states. CSR funding follows industrial concentration, not development needs. States with higher GDP and stronger industrial presence, like Maharashtra (15%), Karnataka (9%), Gujarat (8%), and Delhi (5%), receive the largest share of CSR funds. Low-income states, including much of the North East, Bihar (less than 1%), and Uttar Pradesh (around 4%), are left underfunded despite high poverty and weak SDG outcomes, simply because fewer companies operate there.

Government nudges have yet to deliver equitable CSR flows- Despite being national priorities, low-income regions, including the North East and aspirational districts, remain underfunded. Just eight companies account for 60% of CSR spend in the North East, while only seven companies contribute nearly 37% of CSR funds directed to aspirational districts.

Risk appetite for innovation is low- CSR investments remain heavily concentrated in core themes education (34%), health (27%), skilling (12%), climate (10%), rural development (8%), and others (7%). Funding for emerging priorities or early-stage innovation is scarce, with 73% of nonprofits reporting little or no support for pilots or experimental initiatives.

The evolving CSR-NPO relationship: Nonprofits remain deeply dependent on CSR funding, with half receiving more than 50% of their annual budgets from corporate sources. The report highlights the need for CSR funders to move from transactional engagements to trust-based, long-term partnerships that empower NPOs to drive lasting change.

Collaboration Still Nascent: Despite shared goals, most companies execute corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in silos. Among those surveyed, 68% cited poor strategic alignment as a barrier to collaboration, while 40% pointed to brand concerns and governance complexity as limiting factors.

Looking ahead, the report notes that India’s top 200 companies- responsible for over 50% of total CSR spend- will play a defining role in shaping CSR’s next chapter. With CSR contributing just 1-2% of what the government spends on social services, the sector’s greatest opportunity lies in supporting innovation and pilots that others can scale, positioning CSR as an impact multiplier rather than just an impact creator.

Commenting on the launch, Sumit Tayal, CEO of Give Grants, said: “CSR in India has evolved remarkably over the past decade. But the next phase will be about bold choices, directing funds where they are needed most, taking risks to innovate, and working together across sectors to drive large-scale change. dus spoke India Inc 2025 lays out both our achievements and our unfinished agenda.”

From Compliance to Catalyst

The dus spoke India Inc report underscores the need for a paradigm shift from fragmented, compliance-driven CSR efforts to unified, strategic investments that target root causes of inequity. The report calls for a deepened commitment to

● Geographic Equity: Direct more funds toward underrepresented regions.

● Capacity-Building: Invest in nonprofit institutions to create sustainable, long-term impact.

● Systems Innovation: Support early-stage ideas and pilot programs that can grow into scalable solutions.

Cross-Sector Collaboration: Encourage partnerships between corporations, nonprofits, and government to amplify outcomes.

The report reaffirms Give Grants’ commitment to advancing India’s CSR ecosystem and supporting companies to deliver high-impact, purpose-driven giving.

5 Exciting Ways to Use Balsamic Vinegar in Indian Meals This Week

Indian food is all about bold spices, vibrant colours, and unforgettable flavours. But sometimes, a little twist can take your favourite dishes to a whole new level. Enter balsamic vinegar— a kitchen stapes in Italy, but a bit of hidden gem in Indian kitchens. It’s sweet-tangy flavour works surprisingly well with our spices and ingredients, adding a modern touch to classic recipes.

Ready to shake things up? Here are five easy and exciting ways to use balsamic vinegar in your Indian meals this week:

  1. Balsamic Chaat Salad
    Give your regular chaat a gourmet makeover! Toss together boiled chickpeas, chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumber, coriander, and pomegranate seeds. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar, a squeeze of lemon, chaat masala, and a pinch of black salt.
    The balsamic vinegar adds a rich, tangy kick that makes the whole salad pop with flavour.
  2. Balsamic Paneer Tikka
    Take your paneer tikka game up a notch. Marinate paneer cubes in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, garam masala, and just a hint of balsamic vinegar. Grill or bake until golden and slightly charred.
    The vinegar helps tenderize the paneer and adds a subtle sweetness that perfectly balances the spices.
  3. Roasted Veggies with Balsamic Glaze
    Roast your favourite Indian veggies – think carrots, cauliflower, and bell peppers –  with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Roast until caramelised and golden. The Balsamic brings out the natural sweetness of veggies and gives your everyday sabzi a restaurant-style upgrade.
  4. Balsamic Fruit Raita
    For a raita with a twist, mix diced apples, bananas, and pomegranate with thick curd. Stir in a little balsamic vinegar, roasted cumin powder, and a touch of honey. The vinegar cuts through the richness of the curd, making the raita bright and refreshing – perfect alongside spicy mains.
  5. Balsamic Drizzle on Tandoori Pizza
    Make a homemade pizza with a base of tandoori chicken or paneer, onions, and capsicum. Once it’s out of the oven, finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction (just simmer balsamic vinegar till thick).
    This tangy-sweet glaze pairs beautifully with the smoky, spicy toppings and takes your pizza to the next level.

You can find good-quality balsamic vinegar at most gourmet or online stores in India. Try brands like Colavita for that authentic Italian touch. Start with a little, taste as you go, and see how this versatile ingredient can become your new secret weapon in the kitchen. Give these ideas a try, and you might just find yourself reaching for the balsamic bottle more often than you’d expect!

Paytm Introduces Total Balance Check for UPI-Linked Bank Accounts with Real-Time Balance Display

Mumbai: 24th June 2025: Paytm (One97 Communications Limited), India’s leading payments and financial services distribution company and pioneer of mobile payments, QR codes, and Soundbox, now enables users with multiple bank accounts linked for UPI on the Paytm app to view their total bank account balance in one place, without the need for manual addition or switching apps. It simplifies financial management by providing a consolidated view of funds and also displays individual bank account balances for a more detailed understanding of finances.

Earlier, account holders had to check the balance of each bank account separately and manually calculate the total. With this enhancement, Paytm securely fetches individual bank balances after UPI PIN verification and instantly displays the total balance upfront, making fund management simpler and faster. The service is available to users who have linked their bank accounts for UPI on the Paytm app, and is especially useful for those who maintain multiple accounts for savings, spending, or salary credit and often lose visibility into their overall finances.

Paytm Spokesperson said, “We believe in simplifying financial management through continuous innovation. With Total Balance View, users who have linked multiple bank accounts for UPI on the Paytm app can effortlessly check both total and individual bank balances. This makes it easier to track expenses, plan spends, manage savings, and make informed financial decisions.”

Here’s how to view total balance across all UPI-lined bank accounts on the Paytm app:

  • Open the Paytm app and navigate to the “Balance & History” section
  • Link your UPI-enabled bank accounts, if not already linked
  • Once linked, check account balance of each linked account one by one by entering secured UPI PIN
  • At the top of the screen, the app will dynamically sum up  and display the total balance of all linked accounts every time balance is checked for any of the accounts

The company has introduced several innovations to make mobile payments more secure and efficient. These include the ability to hide or unhide specific payments for added privacy, home screen widgets like ‘Receive Money’ for quicker transactions, personalised UPI IDs that let users create unique and easy-to-remember handles while keeping mobile numbers private, and the option to download UPI statements in Excel or PDF formats. Taking mobile payments beyond India, Paytm now supports UPI transactions in countries such as the UAE, Singapore, France, Mauritius, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, making payments more seamless for Indian travellers abroad.

The Hidden Truth Behind Yellowing White Marble: Tilak Marbles Educates Homeowners and Designers

Kishangarh — White marble has long been revered for its purity, timeless elegance, and architectural sophistication. However, a common aesthetic concern continues to perplex both homeowners and interior designers: Why does white marble turn yellow over time?

Tilak Marbles—India’s premier destination for luxury natural stones—is addressing this pressing issue through a comprehensive educational initiative designed to inform, empower, and guide marble enthusiasts toward proper care.

“Discoloration in white marble is far more common than most people realize—but it’s also largely preventable,” explains Rohit Gangwal, Founding Member, Tilak Marbles. “We believe our clients deserve not just stunning stone, but also the knowledge to preserve its brilliance for generations.”

The Hidden Reasons Behind Yellowing

Tilak Marbles highlights several key factors that contribute to the yellowing of white marble, often occurring gradually but noticeably over time:

Oxidation of Natural Iron: Many marble varieties contain trace amounts of iron, which can oxidize when exposed to moisture, resulting in yellow or rust-colored patches.

Improper Cleaning Agents: Harsh, acidic, or oil-based cleaners may react with the marble’s surface, causing long-term dullness and discoloration.

Trapped Moisture: Inadequate sealing or poor installation can allow moisture to accumulate beneath the surface, accelerating the yellowing process from within.

Wax and Coating Residue: Over time, the breakdown of wax-based polishes or sealers can attract grime and contribute to a yellow, aged appearance.

“Clients often mistake this yellowing as permanent damage,” says Rohit Gangwal. “But in many cases, it’s reversible with the right approach.”

Expert-Recommended Ways to Prevent & Treat Yellowing

To protect white marble from yellowing and ensure it retains its pristine look, Tilak Marbles recommends a proactive care regimen:

Seal Smartly: Always seal marble post-installation and reseal it regularly, especially in high-moisture zones like kitchens and bathrooms.

Choose the Right Cleaners: Use only pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaners specifically formulated for natural marble surfaces.

Promote Air Circulation: Good ventilation prevents moisture build-up—an essential step in bathrooms, wash areas, and closed countertops.

Invest in Professional Restoration: If yellowing has already occurred, expert polishing and restoration can often recover the marble’s original brilliance without invasive methods.

A Material Worth Protecting

White marble is not just a design element—it is a legacy material that brings a sense of grace and permanence to any space. Through this initiative, Tilak Marbles reaffirms its dedication to not only supplying premium stone but also educating clients on preserving its value for years to come.

“When white marble is chosen with understanding and maintained with care, it doesn’t just age gracefully—it becomes more beautiful with time,” concludes Rohit Gangwal.

Bondada Group to Power Tamil Nadu’s Grid with 400 MWh Energy Storage Project

India, June 24, 2025: Bondada Group, one of India’s fastest-growing infrastructure and engineering companies, has secured a major 400 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project from Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL) — marking a significant step toward accelerating Tamil Nadu’s clean energy transition.

The project will deploy standalone grid-scale BESS facilities with a total capacity of 400 MWh at key locations — Vellalaviduthi and Thennampatty in Tamil Nadu State. The initiative is aimed at boosting grid stability, integrating renewable energy, and managing peak power demand in the state.

The project will be executed under the build-own-operate (BOO) model, with Bondada Group emerging as the successful bidder through a competitive tendering process conducted by TNGECL.

Under the project terms, Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) will procure battery energy storage services from Bondada Group through a 12-year battery energy storage purchase agreement. The system will allow for two full charge and discharge cycles per day, balancing the intermittency of renewable energy and delivering 24×7 reliable power supply to the state’s grid.

This project marks a key milestone for Bondada Group in the energy storage segment and reflects our strong commitment to advancing India’s clean energy ecosystem,” said Dr. Raghavendra Rao Bondada, Chairman & Managing Director, Bondada Group.

The initiative aligns with India’s National Framework for Energy Storage Systems (NFESS), 2023, and Tamil Nadu’s ambitious goal of achieving 50% renewable energy by 2030. The system is expected to integrate with the state grid by 2027, contributing to India’s 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target.

Bondada Group has consistently delivered excellence across the renewable energy sector, with 800 MW of commissioned solar projects and 2.3 GW of ongoing solar and renewable EPC projects. This 400 MWh BESS project marks Bondada’s largest energy storage initiative to date, building on its previous success of securing a 100 MWh BESS project with Telangana Power Generation Corporation Limited (TGGENCO).

Universal Sompo extends Insurance Coverage to Pets

Mumbai, 23rd June, 2025: Universal Sompo experiences a high demand for Pet Assure, a comprehensive and customizable pet insurance product tailored to meet the evolving needs of India’s growing community of pet parents.

pet

Urban India is witnessing a dramatic shift in pet ownership trends, driven largely by Millennials and Gen Z. Now pets are no longer just companions but cherished as family members. This cultural transformation has fuelled rising demand for structured, preventive, and tech-enabled pet care solutions, particularly in Tier 1 cities, and increasingly across Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions.

Pet Assure has been designed to support this growing responsibility by offering extensive coverage for pet dogs and cats aged between 3 months and 10 years. The policy includes protection for routine outpatient consultations, diagnostics, surgeries, critical illnesses, accidental injuries, and third-party liabilities. Optional benefits further extend to coverage for terminal diseases, pregnancy-related complications, dental care, post-treatment recovery, theft or loss, emergency pet minding, and even cremation expenses.

Customers can choose from flexible sum insured options ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹2,00,000, with policy tenures of one to three years. Premiums start at an affordable ₹1499 per annum, making pet insurance accessible to a broad range of pet parents across the country.

“Pets today are cherished family members and deserve the same level of healthcare and financial protection. With Pet Assure, we’ve built one of the most inclusive and customisable pet insurance offerings in the market,” said the Pet Parents Fraternity at Universal Sompo. “This is a step toward not only meeting a growing market demand but also fulfilling our commitment to holistic customer well-being.”

Real-life testimonials already speak to its value. Mr. Jagrit Joshi, a pet parent working as a Digital Activations Lead, shared:

“As veterinary costs and pet ownership in Indian cities surge, pet insurance is transitioning from luxury to a necessity. My pet dog, Coco, was unwell and advised diagnostic tests. Ultrasound findings revealed crystal formation and a cyst in the prostate, for which he underwent surgery. The Pet Parent Fraternity at Universal Sompo stood in strong support throughout and ensured timely settlement of all claims expenses.

As pet tele-health services gain popularity and veterinary care grows more advanced, Universal Sompo’s commitment and pet insurance offering is a timely and responsible initiative. More than just a financial safeguard, Pet Assure is a step toward redefining pet care in India, ensuring pet parents have peace of mind and their furry family members receive the care they deserve.
