Where Business Meets Purpose
The Development Consortium believes that the private sector is a powerful force for social change. Our corporate partners bring more than funding — they bring innovation, networks, and a shared commitment to solving India's most pressing development challenges.
​
We work with companies and corporate foundations to co-design, fund, and scale programs in health, education, and youth empowerment, creating impact that is measurable, sustainable, and meaningful. These are not transactional relationships; they are long-term partnerships built on trust, shared values, and a belief that business can and should drive the change that matters.
What We Build Together
A corporate partnership with DC is shaped around what you care about and what communities need.
Fund programmes at scale
Support existing initiatives with proven models and measurable outcomes. Full impact reporting against agreed indicators included.
Co-design something new
Have a development priority without a program behind it? DC brings 15 years of on-ground
Embed employee engagement
Volunteering, mentoring, and learning exchanges that connect your teams directly with the communities your organisation supports.
Generate evidence that matters
Rigorous M&E built into every programme. Receive data, case studies, and impact reports for CSR reporting and stakeholder communication.
A Partnership That Works Both Ways
We know that a corporate partnership needs to work for your organisation, not just ours. Here is what you can count on from DC:
-
A dedicated DC point of contact for your partnership — clear communication at every stage
-
Transparent financial reporting and programme updates on an agreed schedule
-
Joint visibility — co-branded communications, annual report acknowledgement, and social media recognition
-
Flexibility to evolve the partnership as your priorities shift
-
Honesty when things don't go to plan — because that is what real partnerships do
