The Goonj Foundation is committed to fueling Goonj’s work across India and around the world.
This fall we supported Anshu Gupta’s participation in several Chaupal-style gatherings, deep conversations with Academic leaders at Stanford and Northeastern and two major discussions that highlighted the importance of dignity and grassroots leadership in addressing global challenges.
On September 24th, during the UN Global Assembly in New York, Anshu was invited to join the IDinsight Dignity Initiative’s conversation on “Making Respect Real in Development.” Discussions around dignity in social impact reaffirmed that fostering cultures of dignity is achievable through small, actionable steps from all of us.
Just two days later, Anshu moderated an impressive panel of experts at the Dasra Philanthropy Forum 2024 on “Harnessing the Power of Locally-Led Climate Solutions.” Speaking with grassroots leaders from India, he underscored the crucial role of local communities in tackling climate issues. As Anshu put it, “The climate crisis is immense, but true solutions lie in the wisdom of our communities. Locally led wisdom and talent is a key driver for a sustainable future.”
In November, Anshu traveled across the UK, to have conversations in Essex, Manchester, Oxford universities, and London Business School — sharing The Goonj Way with budding social entrepreneurs and students. He also delivered a keynote titled: "India for World, World for India: Building an Ecosystem for a Billion Thriving,” at the UK’s India Philanthropic Forum hosted by Dasra.
