How Rajiv is building a better working world

“Through the work we do with our clients and applying technology in everything we do, we help unlock value and contribute to nation’s economic productivity, growth and global competitiveness.”

To create a lasting impact on our local communities, we realized we needed to do much more and established the EY India Foundation in 2004. Over 10,000 students from underprivileged backgrounds have benefited from our Student Scholarship program and are employed with leading organizations. Our initiatives toward women entrepreneurship are helping increase family income for half a million rural women in about 2,000 villages. As part of our environment commitment, we have undertaken several afforestation drives and rainwater harvesting in urban and rural areas over the years. 

I am proud that each year, our people enthusiastically support our community initiatives by volunteering their time and resources.
