The Bajaj family has achieved a significant milestone in the EdelGive-Hurun India Philanthropy List 2024, climbing three ranks to secure the third position with a generous donation of ₹352 crore in FY24. This marks a notable 33% increase from their previous year’s contribution, underscoring their growing commitment to philanthropy.
The Bajaj family’s philanthropic efforts, channelled through the Bajaj Group Trust, highlight their enduring commitment to social causes and community welfare.
A standout highlight of the Bajaj family’s philanthropy is their substantial support for the cause of Arts, Culture, and Heritage, where they emerged as the highest donors with ₹29 crore, part of a larger total of ₹99 crore donated to this sector across the list.
The Hurun India report also highlights the diverse spectrum of philanthropists shaping the country’s charitable landscape. As Anas Rahman Junaid, founder of Hurun India, notes, the growing trend of wealth creation paired with impactful philanthropy is inspiring a new generation of givers. Alongside first-generation entrepreneurs like Shiv Nadar and Gautam Adani, established family businesses such as the Bajaj, Ambani, and Birla continue to play a leading role in driving social change.
Through their unwavering dedication to causes such as education, healthcare, and cultural preservation, the Bajaj family continues to honour their legacy of giving, while inspiring future generations to follow suit.
