The outlay-outcome gap means the bulk of today\u2019s poor people are unable to benefit from state policies and market signals. Yet India\u2019s recent vast economic growth gives the Indian state huge financial resources for social sector spending. Likewise, high-net-worth individuals have more reserves than ever before for philanthropy. And the philanthropic capital coming from corporate India, through corporate social responsibility (CSR) schemes has a unique space of deployment as an impact multiplier. Philanthropies have a critical role in building up a well-functioning NGOS, think tanks and expertise available to government. This session will seek to lay a blueprint for philanthropy to work with government, bringing best practices, proof of concept and professional expertise. After all, the idea is not new, Nehru had invited the Ford Foundation to help build state capacity long ago.
