Piramal Finance has reported a significant social impact through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives during FY2026, benefiting more than 113 million people across 28 states and two Union Territories. According to the company’s latest annual review, it invested approximately ₹22.5 crore in programmes focused on education, healthcare, water and sanitation, financial inclusion and community development.
The company’s CSR strategy is driven through four flagship platforms — Aspirational Bharat Collaborative, Digital Bharat Collaborative, Inclusive Bharat Collaborative, and the Piramal School of Leadership — aimed at strengthening public systems and improving access to essential services across India.
Education remained one of the key focus areas during the year. Piramal Finance supported the development of over 5,000 demonstration schools across 15 states, contributing to a 20% improvement in mathematics and language learning outcomes. Through its Panchayat for Education programme, the company reached 3.13 lakh students, trained 39,766 education leaders, and upgraded 900 Anganwadi Centres to strengthen early childhood education.
In the healthcare sector, the Piramal Foundation operated 131 Mobile Medical Units and 36 static health clinics across 16 states, providing medical services to nearly 8,000 patients every day. By the end of FY2026, these healthcare facilities had recorded over 14.48 lakh patient visits. Health helplines operating in Assam and Bihar also supported more than 6.17 lakh beneficiaries during the year.
The Foundation further strengthened digital healthcare through its AMRIT platform, an open-source Electronic Health Records (EHR) system recognised as a Digital Public Good. The platform has generated more than 25 million digital health records from over 110 digitised healthcare facilities, improving healthcare delivery and patient management.
Through the Inclusive Bharat Collaborative, Piramal Finance expanded its outreach to tribal communities across 177 districts. The initiative trained 12,210 TB Champions and engaged 1,515 Gram Panchayats under the TB-Free Village campaign to strengthen tuberculosis awareness and prevention. In Madhya Pradesh, the programme also helped secure government certification for five labour room facilities, improving maternal and newborn healthcare services.
The company’s water and sanitation initiatives led to the formation of over 200 Village Water and Sanitation Committees, while a community planning project in Ranchi successfully mobilised ₹1.6 crore in government funding for water and sanitation infrastructure development.
Piramal Finance also strengthened financial inclusion by reaching over 7.4 crore people through digital and on-ground financial literacy programmes, helping communities improve financial awareness and access to formal financial services.
The Piramal Foundation, supported by a workforce of over 5,000 professionals, said its CSR model focuses on strengthening government systems and empowering local communities rather than implementing short-term projects. The organisation aims to build long-term institutional capacity, enabling communities and public agencies to independently sustain the impact of these development initiatives.
