MUMBAI (India CSR): Piramal Finance continued to deepen its social impact in FY2026 through Piramal Foundation, reaching over 113 million lives across 28 states and 2 Union Territories, according to its latest annual report.
The company contributed well about Rs 22.5 crore towards CSR initiatives during the year gone by, with targeted interventions spanning education, health, and water. The initiatives are anchored across four flagship platforms, including Aspirational Bharat Collaborative, Digital Bharat Collaborative, Inclusive Bharat Collaborative, and Piramal School of Leadership, highlighted the annual report.
In education, the company’s social impact initiatives supported the establishment of 5,000+ demonstration schools across 15 states, contributing to a 20% improvement in student learning outcomes in mathematics and language. The Panchayat for Education programme directly reached 3.13 lakh students, while 39,766 education leaders were trained and 900 demonstration Anganwadi Centres strengthened early childhood learning.
In public healthcare, the Foundation’s 131 Mobile Medical Units and 36 static clinics served around 8,000 beneficiaries per working day across 16 states, totalling 14,48,644 clinic visits in FY2026. Government health helplines in Assam and Bihar together served 6,17,152 beneficiaries. The Foundation’s AMRIT platform, an open-source Electronic Health Records system recognised internationally as a Digital Public Good, has generated over 25 million health records across 110+ digitised facilities.
For tribal communities, the Inclusive Bharat Collaborative worked across 177 districts, training 12,210 TB Champions, orienting 1,515 Gram Panchayats on the TB-Free Village initiative, and securing government quality certification for five labour room facilities in Madhya Pradesh. On water, 200+ Village Water and Sanitation Committees were activated across districts, with community planning in Ranchi alone mobilising Rs 1.6 crore in government infrastructure funding.
The report also highlighted that 7.4 crore+ individuals were reached through financial literacy programmes via digital and on-ground channels during the year, directly linking the company’s inclusion mandate to its community work.
According to Piramal Finance’s annual report, the foundation operates with a team of 5,000+ professionals and describes its model as system-strengthening rather than project delivery designed to build the capacity of government institutions and local communities to sustain outcomes independently.
