Samsung India Marks 30 Years, Impacts 1.5 Million Lives Through CSR Initiatives

New Delhi, April 20, 2026: Samsung India has reported that its corporate citizenship programmes have impacted over 1.5 million people across the country, as the company completes 30 years of operations in India.

While widely known for its manufacturing and consumer electronics business, the company highlighted its long-term focus on education, skilling, and innovation-led development as a key part of its India journey. Its CSR spend stood at ₹144.48 crore in FY 2024–25, increasing to ₹193.89 crore in FY 2025–26.

At the centre of its social impact initiatives is the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC), a programme focused on training youth in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and coding. Since its launch in 2022, the programme has trained over 6,500 students, with 3,500 certifications recorded in 2024 alone. In 2025, the initiative expanded to reach 20,000 students across ten states, with women accounting for 48% of participation nationally.

Commenting on the company’s approach, Mr. SP Chun, Corporate Vice President, Samsung Southwest Asia, said, “As we complete three decades in India, we see innovation and education as both an enabler of progress and a catalyst for inclusion. The focus going forward is on how this potential is translated into meaningful impact at scale. At Samsung, we are committed to nurturing a generation of young innovators with the skills, creativity, and collaborative mindset which enables them to grow and address complex societal challenges and contribute to a more inclusive future.”

The initiative has also expanded through partnerships with government and industry bodies. In Uttar Pradesh, thousands of students have been trained under SIC, contributing to the state’s skilling and digital development agenda.

“Our young people are the foundation of Uttar Pradesh’s progress and the driving force behind India’s growth story. I am delighted to see global companies like Samsung coming forward to invest in their skills and aspirations. By learning emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and IoT, our students are preparing to lead the industries of tomorrow. This initiative is not just about teaching technology, it is about opening pathways to livelihood, self-reliance, and dignity for our youth. Through this programme Samsung supports our vision of transforming Uttar Pradesh into a hub for skilled manpower and digital excellence. The success of these young people is a reflection of a confident, capable, and future-ready Uttar Pradesh,” said Yogi Adityanath, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh.

Beyond technical training, Samsung’s CSR portfolio includes programmes such as “Solve for Tomorrow,” which supports innovation-led problem solving, and the DOST initiative focused on employability in retail and service sectors.

Together, these initiatives reflect a broader focus on building skills, supporting innovation, and enabling career pathways for youth across India.
