Social
With a focus on India, MSP strives to enable social impact initiatives that empower people and communities affected by entrenched inequities. We support institutions and initiatives actively working in areas related to the environment, sustainability, health, nutrition, diversity and inclusion. We also aim to play a catalytic role in building bridges at the intersection of government, businesses, civil society and communities.
