“In the early days, philanthropy was about creating development institutions such as hospitals, and initiatives of a nature which at the time were more about nation building than ours are today. Today, our philanthropic initiatives have greater focus, for example, on creation of awareness of things like discrimination against the girl child, on microfinance, to get people away from money lenders, on water harvesting and conservation and in moving more to small community initiatives”
