Podcast Overview

In a nation experiencing rapid ­financial growth, one natural outcome is the increasing practice of giving back to society. As individuals amass greater wealth, there is a growing need to foster a culture of philanthropy—one that draws on the examples set by historic families and inspires new generations to view giving as an aspirational activity. The expanding economy also brings with it a large base of generational wealth that has the potential to be used for a variety of philanthropic purposes. However, individuals and families with the means often ­and themselves paralyzed by the process, options and structures of giving, limiting them from reaching their fullest potential. Over the past six years, EdelGive, in partnership with Hurun India has laid the groundwork for this movement by compiling and publishing the Philanthropy List. Continuing down this path, EdelGive's goal is to expand the ­eld of philanthropy, encouraging more individuals and families with wealth to contribute to the collective development of Indian society. To spark dialogue and demystify the subject, EdelGive plans to launch a podcast featuring conversations with top philanthropists, new entrants to the ­eld, and pioneers who were far ahead of their time. These discussions will explore the motivations behind accumulating wealth and the reasons for choosing to give it away for the greater good. The podcast will delve into how philanthropists approach giving, how they manage their funds, and envision the future of philanthropy in a complex and diverse nation like India. Through this initiative, EdelGive aims to position itself as a thought leader in the philanthropic space, strengthening its reputation as a reliable and competent Philanthropic Asset Manager. EdelGive intends to act as a catalyst and through this platform, inspire more people to step into the world of giving.

We’re in the business of enabling lives | Shaifalika & Shubhrakant Panda | Give it a Go | EP 7

What does it really mean to give back? And how much is actually enough In this episode of Give It A Go, Naghma Mulla sits down with Shaifalika Panda and Shubhrakant Panda to unpack what thoughtful giving actually looks like, beyond charity, beyond optics. From building businesses to working closely with communities across Odisha, they share what it takes to create real, lasting impact. This isn’t about quick fixes or feel-good philanthropy. It’s about patience, responsibility, and doing the work the right way. We talk about: • The difference between giving and enabling • Why most people get impact wrong • How much wealth is truly “enough” • The role of power, privilege, and responsibility • Why failure and patience are part of the journey • What real empowerment actually looks like This conversation is honest, grounded, and quietly powerful,  especially if you’ve ever thought about success, purpose, or what comes after “making it”.

How do we get 70 million people out of poverty? | ft. Dr. Swati and Mr. Ajay Piramal | Give it a Go | EP 6

In this episode of Give It A Go, host Naghma Mulla sits down with Dr. Swati Piramal and Mr. Ajay Piramal to explore how they’ve built successful businesses while driving meaningful social impact. Grounded in the principles of seva, spirituality, and equanimity inspired by the Gita, they reflect on their family’s legacy of giving - from pioneering girls’ education in Rajasthan to leading large-scale public health interventions. The conversation explores critical gaps that still exist - healthcare research skewed toward men, widespread anaemia and mental health challenges among women, and persistent pay inequality. Mr. Ajay highlights why sustainable change in India requires working with the government, not outside it - focusing on improving the efficiency of large-scale public spending. He discusses initiatives like the Piramal School of Leadership, which invests in strengthening mid-level leadership within public systems, and their work addressing multidimensional poverty, water access, nutrition, and deep-rooted tribal health inequities. Together, they emphasize starting early with giving, staying hands-on, and finding genuine joy in service.
