Parikrma Foundation, India
Endowment Fund
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw was invited to speak with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath on the 7th episode of his popular podcast: ‘WTF is Biotech? 40 Years of Wisdom from Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw’. In response to a question from a viewer about how they could make a difference in the world, Kiran and Nikhil spontaneously made a joint pledge of ₹50 lakh to a charity that viewers would identify. This pledge underscored their commitment to impact philanthropy, and their hope that it would encourage others to give back.
Audiences cast their votes on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter), choosing Parikrma Foundation, a non-profit organisation with an aim to empower underprivileged children.
Your voice matters, and every vote matters. The charity with the most votes wins democratically. So please join us. Let’s show the world the power of unity in making a difference.”
