The British Asian Trust, a charity founded by King Charles III and British Asian entrepreneurs, has appointed Sangita Jindal to its India Advisory Council.
A prominent Indian business leader and philanthropist and chairperson of JSW Foundation, Jindal joins an esteemed group of Indian business leaders serving as advisory members of the Trust.
Under Jindal's leadership, the JSW Foundation has significantly influenced India's social and cultural landscape, fostering comprehensive change in communities nationwide. The JSW Foundation and the British Asian Trust have previously collaborated to develop the Skill Impact Bond, India's first and largest impact bond for employment, with a focus on increasing women's participation in the workforce.
Commenting on her appointment, Jindal said, “India’s journey to become a US$ 7 trillion economy by 2030 calls for managing challenges and opportunities by ensuring equitable access to quality education, healthcare, skilling, and job opportunities, especially for women and children. This requires striking a fine balance between our nation’s development priorities and protecting its bountiful biodiversity. Social financing will play a catalytic role in meeting these developmental objectives. I look forward to making a meaningful contribution in this direction.”
