Invest in a
resilient economy
Immense promise for global family offices with their investments, business and philanthropy.
India is among the most preferred investment destinations of the emerging world. In light of the continued reform momentum, long-term demand drivers, and favorable earnings growth prospects, India has seen consistently high inflows of foreign funds flows in recent years. A push for structural reforms and trade actions should support growth and enable ease of trade & investment over the long horizon, propelling India to become the third-largest global economy by 2030. While India must continue to improve productivity, global competitiveness and catalyze sustainable impact to lift the lives of millions, it provides tremendous opportunities and holds immense promise for investments, business, and philanthropy.

Structured, Sustainable and Impactful
Philanthropy in India holds immense promise in the 21st century: giving is growing with a lot more structure, gaining visibility and effecting much needed change across India.
Despite the growing significance and scale of philanthropy, India has 172 million people living below the global poverty line of USD 1.90 per day and 600 million people are at risk due to climate change.
The opportunity
Philanthropic spending in India is close to USD 95 billion per annum. The country 's vibrant development sector plays an essential role in disseminating this philanthropic capital through 3.2 million nonprofits, 2 million social enterprises, several universities, incubators and think tanks. Collectively, these organizations catalyze social and environmental impact at scale.
The Waterfield way
Waterfield 's Philanthropy and Impact Advisory works across the impact spectrum, from venture philanthropy to CSR to innovative finance and impact investment. The team provides multi-dimensional insights to manage our complexity of giving, bridging the gap between the need and the opportunity, thereby catalysing sustainable impact in the lives of millions.
