10. What Amit want to say about
philanthropy in Inda
“If you look at the data in India, we pale in
comparison. There are the Tatas, the Azim Premjis
and the Shiv Nadars,”. “But, for a long while, we
hid behind a veil treating giving as a private
activity. The truth is that it would probably shame
people if we really knew how little they were
giving relative to their wealth.”
