As a finance expert, I’m always impressed when I see someone take the core principles of our industry and apply them to create real social change. Abhay Bhutada, Managing Director of Poonawalla Fincorp, has done exactly that with the Abhay Bhutada Foundation. Launched in 2023, the foundation focuses on education and healthcare, two key areas where underserved communities need immediate and long-term support.
What’s brilliant about Bhutada’s approach is how he’s applied business strategies to philanthropy. The foundation’s "LearnByDoing" initiative, which provides STEM kits to students, is an investment in human capital—ensuring that young minds get the tools they need to innovate and contribute to society’s future. It’s like nurturing a future workforce, starting from the ground up.
In healthcare, the foundation’s mobile clinics target rural areas, filling a critical gap in healthcare access. It’s a strategic solution to a widespread issue—much like finding a growth opportunity in an underdeveloped market. Bhutada’s efficiency, use of partnerships, and focus on sustainable outcomes make the Abhay Bhutada Foundation a textbook example of how financial expertise can drive both economic and social returns.
