I Give because I am Grateful.

Welcome to LivingMyPromise. 

Ordinary people, Choosing to make an extraordinary difference.

We are a community of Indians who have pledged 50% or more of our wealth to society. Each of us believes that wealth, when shared thoughtfully, can create opportunity, dignity, and a deeper sense of purpose.


​

This is not a common decision. Finding our tribe – people who think like us – has been transformative for each of us. We seek to sustain and grow our circle of like-minded individuals, deriving inspiration, knowledge, and ideas from each other.  

If you, too, are thinking about giving that outlives you, join us. We invite individuals with a net worth of INR 1 crore or more to make this commitment either during their lifetime or through their will.

Giving as a way of life, beyond our lifetime.

Our commitments are not legally binding. We are bound to each other by our promise: a personal commitment to give back 50% or more of our wealth to causes that matter to us.

​

Grateful for the privilege that has powered our lives and helped create our wealth, we are mindful that it is unjust to solely indulge ourselves while poverty and deprivation persist outside our walls.

​

And so, this promise. We challenge and inspire others to do the same.

How much is enough ? What’s the point of wealth, if we can not help one in need.

Diverse range of Promisors 

Our growing, diverse community includes Promisors whose net worth ranges from Rs 1 crore to over Rs 100 crore. Over 40% of our Promisors are women. Their age varies widely too, from 28 to 81. Each of them has taken the same bold step: to commit half or more of their wealth to philanthropy. Yet each has a unique journey, and their own take on the causes they support and how they give back. This is a community defined not by words, but by its actions.

What is #LivingMyPromise?

#LivingMyPromise is an effort to help address society’s most pressing problems by inviting India’s well-to-do individuals and families to commit to giving equal to or more than half of their wealth to philanthropy or charitable causes either during their lifetime or in their will.

The goal is to talk about giving in an open way and create an atmosphere that can draw more people into philanthropy. Most signatories prefer anonymity, as no one wants to be hounded for their actions. Yet, each of them realises from experience, that talking about it in public inspires others to come forward as well, and helps several others to benchmark their giving to higher levels than they would have otherwise done. At least half the current signatories wouldn’t have come on board if the first half hadn’t gone public with their commitment. Talking about one’s giving can be done with all humility and we believe that IS the Indian way of doing things. 

Why go public about a promise?
