Centred on the theme ‘CSR for an Inclusive India’, the day -long event witnessed simulating panel discussions on issues impeding India’s growth. The delegates called for corporate social innovation and strategic partnerships as a key to achieving sustainable growth.

At a panel discussion titled ‘Igniting Compassion & Innovation for Driving Social Change’, Dr. Aishwarya Mahajan, Director- Livelihood Education, South Asia, Aid-et Action International, said: “The success of a social sector intervention is based on the benefit to its end-user community and the development of such interventions cannot be done in isolation. As a matter of fact, the process of project development needs to embody the concept of the human connect which taps capacities hitherto overlooked by conventional problem-solving approaches. Inspiration, ideation, and implementation can be called as spaces, rather than steps in undertaking problem-solving as they are not always undertaken sequentially and this approach provides high- impact solutions for the community. Incorporating ‘Design Thinking’ to solving a problem is a participatory solution and a key driver for social change in India.”
