Building institutions, transforming India
The Convergence Foundation (TCF) aims to grow India’s economy to $10 trillion by 2035. Set up by philanthropist—and formerly one of India’s leading
private equity investors—Ashish Dhawan, TCF builds institutions and supports bold leaders tackling India’s complex problems ranging from unemployment
to air pollution, and poor education outcomes to low participation of women in the labour force. Our portfolio organizations are in for the long haul and
adopt a systemic reform approach to address at scale the challenges that impede India’s economic progress.

The Convergence Foundation aims to build institutions that support the government in boosting India’s economic growth and development. Our approach is strategic and involves working with the government to innovate, build evidence, and implement solutions. We bring together various actors across the ecosystem to move the needle on complex challenges that are critical for India to address. I am hopeful that we will build outstanding institutions that create disproportionate impact over the next decade.
