SIFE India Board

“A key ingredient in India’s march towards developed nation status will be the creation of a number of new, young leaders who will work with communities across the length and breadth of this great Nation and bridge the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots”. SIFE is a powerful Programme which provides an opportunity to several young students across India to make a meaningful contribution to various communities; they impart hands on knowledge and change their lifestyles for a better tomorrow. SIFE India programs allow students and Corporates to participate in a unique way that will change the future of India.”

“SIFE is a unique programme that helps target globally pressing issues like climate change, environmental conservation, community development, poverty alleviation, inclusive growth, ethical entrepreneurship and education whilst developing enthusiastic and exceptional university students into considerate and responsible leaders for the future.”

"Our experience with SIFE for the past two years has been extremely enriching to say the least.  It has indeed been a privilege to work with SIFE and the students who are tomorrows thought leaders.  The SIFE program is a unique link between students, business and communities. We at Reliance Money, are firmly committed to developing entrepreneurial spirit and nurturing talent which are the cornerstones of continued success for businesses and the society."

"In India, HSBC focuses on financial literacy as a means of social and economic inclusion. We also appreciate the significance of youth leadership, particularly in the local community. SIFE India brings together both these aspects, by giving young people a unique platform to develop their skills as youth leaders, explore their potential as social entrepreneurs, learn about market economics, business ethics and also enhance their personal financial skills. We believe that such sustained social enterprise is indispensable for inclusive growth in our country."

Deepak Kapoor

"The youth of today is responsible and want to contribute to India’s economic and social growth in a meaningful way. That is where the distinctive SIFE Programme steps in. It is contributing in providing opportunities and guidance to the future leaders in relevant areas such as sustainability, financial literacy and business ethics. By focusing on building important relationships in the local community, the programme provides them an important and unique practical experience."
