This calls for a more engaged approach to philanthropy, one that brings together resources, expertise, networks and a deeper understanding of community needs. Social Venture Partners India (SVP India), founded by Ravi Venkatesan, has been working to address this gap through its model of Engaged Philanthropy, which brings together...
